Printer Problems + rep

[Samantha]

Had an Epson Stylus Sx435 just got an Epson Stylus Sx235 today but neither will print. Says printing then nothing happens then it goes 'Error - Printing'

Works with scanning though not sure what else to do. It's wireless but got no USB to put in to see if that's the problem.

+rep if you're helpful.

Go the the menu options on the Keyboard of the printer, configure it's WLAN settings to connect to your Wi-FI network. once that is done, add a new printer via Windows as a Network printer or run the CD in Your PC to find the printer and configure it on your system.

After that it should work... Granted you still have the installation CD lol..

However would you state which computer with OS you are running? I'm guessing this is a windows pc?

[Samantha]

The printer doesn't have a screen so...

I'm on a W7 Laptop.

Been to online help they told me to do something with the WiFi nothing worked. Only working on my dad's Laptop (W vista) atm?

I'm guessing the next step would be to completely uninstall the drivers on your computer. http://www.epson.co.uk/gb/en/viewcon/corporatesite/products/mainunits/support/2933 is the website where you can download updated drivers for the printer your talking about. If this doesn't work I'm pretty much at a loss. :S

Reinstalled it about 2 times already, ye been on that site they didn't really help much though!

Go into your control panel and click on printers, then add printer then it should give you 2 options click 'find wireless printer'.

Hope this helps! :)

Does it say online or offline on your laptop?

I've read a few articles having the same problem and the answers seem to be you need to connect it via usb first.

[Samantha]

Don't have a USB, I read that too but that was for windows xp not 7 :P.

Is this the printer?

It says it has a USB connection.

That's the one but we're using it wirelessly, for Windows 7 you don't need a USB. The old one used to work and I automatically set that up. Regardless if it needed a USB or not it wouldn't work on my dad's laptop then surely?




Automatic set-up compatible with Windows 7, Windows Vista and Mac OS. USB cable not included. Initial Wi-Fi set-up requires a USB cable for Windows XP users.

Have you tried fiddling with settings on your dads laptop?

Nope, I put it down to the windows he is on.

Hmm, maybe he hasn't allowed it to anyone else, I'm actually puzzled at it. Sorry

I installed it on mine first then his and mine didn't work but his did, this occurred yesterday with mine and my mum's laptop but solved problem as to why it doesn't work on hers.
