MacBook wireless connect to Epson
After several hours installing, uninstalling, re-installing etc. the new Epson, am still not able to see the printer in the EpsonNet app, thus cannot configure it for wireless.
I CAN print using the USB cable, so the Mac (OSX 10.5.8) at least has the drivers installed properly, and I believe is not the problem.
Another several hours later searching this forum, there were a few related posts, but they were not specific enough to do me any good. IE, "I had to remove the Airport, then could continue the installation". What does that mean? pull it out of the wall, un-install, or ?
Does anyone PLEASE have experience with this issue? I'm probably close, and all that's needed is to magically tune a few settings (wild-eyed optomist)on the Mac and Epson to use wireless (that is, the latest drivers have been installed from the web, the Mac shows a bouncing printer icon, but then it comes up with a yellow !). The printers folder shows my documents in the qeue, but they go nowhere.
So, I'm back to the fact that the Mac cannot "see" the Epson wirelessly. I've re-set the Epson back to it's factory config, but still no luck, and that was after trying every option avialable on the Epson control panel. Must admit it was asking for network address, device name, WEP security, and so on, which I don't know. But SHOULD I know that stuff, in order to install a printer? Is that where the answer lies...
There was a really promising post that read: "Installed the printer according to the printed instructions, worked great..." but then it said nothing about the connectivity in wireless.
Is there any Epson tech person out there whose job description it is to monitor these printing issue forums, and send help/offer a suggestion?
Thanks in advance for reading this lengthy thing, and any help would be so greatly appreciated.
