- iMac 27" i7 3.5GHz 24GB 3T Fusion HD - 10.10.2b MBP 13" 8GB, 240GB SSD - 10.10.2b iPad Air iOS 8.1.2
I use an Epson WF-2540 with my Macs (actually an iMac w/ 10.6.8, a MBP with 10.9.2 and an iPad with iOS 7) and generally have success and quality printouts. Occasionally, the printer simply goes offline via WIFI (the WIFI light is off) and I get the message the printer is offline. The Epson FAQs and Support have been useless. I am told to clear the queue (which usually is empty), delete the printer setup in System Preferences and create a new one, reinitialize my router (the router is always fine for me and others on the network and is less than 3 feet from the printer), download and reinstall printer software and/or disable the firewall which I have never turned on. There is no problems with the power, no error message is displayed on the printer and my Macs are usually less that 5 feet from the router and printer. The Macs and iPad never loose connection. This has happened on 2 different brands of routers. If I turn off the printer, wait a little while and start it up, WIFI resumes and if something was left in the queue it automatically prints.
Does anyone have anything else I could try to maintain the printer WIFI connection?
Anyone else have problems with Epson hardware?
Thanks in advance.
