Epson Stylus SX600FW

Ok, so i've got the Epson Stylus SX600FW and it works fine when I have the MacBook connected via Ethernet. As soon as I unplug the Ethernet it will not print. I have tried everything from re-installing the drivers to updating to the latest from the Epson website. What is interesting is that my friend has exactly the same setup as me i.e. Aluminum Apple MacBook 2009, Sky Broadband router (NETGEAR DG834G), and the Epson Stylus SX600FW. His has exactly the same issue! By the way the MacBook can can wirelessly without any problem at all.

I have a couple of wireless Windows XP/Vista machines that work fine and can print over the wireless.

I've contacted Apple and Epson support but they are also confused. Seems to be some sort of issue with the wireless part of the Mac not communicating with the printer. It just sits there saying "Printing" but nothing appears on the printer screen.

Any one else experienced this problem as I've managed to recreate it at two separate locations.

Cheers,

Kieran.

Thanks for your post, but I'm afraid this hasn't worked for me fully!

I can now happily print over bonjour to my wireless hub [the printer is connected with to an airport with a USB cable], but no wireless scanning is available. Anyone worked this one out?

Guys - I have had all of these same problems. Curiously though, I bought the printer before Xmas and it worked perfectly fine on my O2 wireless Thomson router for around 2 months. Then a couple of weeks back, on printing a doc, it did as it has for you - says 'printing' but can't communicate with the printer...
I have called Apple, O2 and Epson. No one knows the issue. I bought it from Amazon who said they will collect this week for a refund. So disappointed as I need the machine for scanning and printing before then. Anyone got anywhere with it yet???? Agggggghhhhhh
