My mac (Mojave 10.14.5 version) does not connect to my EPSON ET-2710 or L3150 printer. I've tried using both the usb connector and wifi but it seems like the laptop and the printer cannot communicate with each other. Help! I've downloaded Epson installers but since the laptop does not connect with the printer, the set up does not materialize.
MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14
Was it working immediately prior to 10.14.5 on your Mac and then stopped working after the update? Or is this the first time you've tried to get it working?
Using a USB connection here is what you can try for your Epson ET-2710 and Epson L3150 printers:
Reset the Mac printing system by right-clicking / control-clicking in the empty space in the Printers & Scanners list of devices located in the Printers & Scanners icon in System Preferences.
You may need to authorize the Epson installer and/or app software under System Preference > Privacy & Security > Privacy tab. If they are not listed there you can try adding them under the Full Disk Access.
If that still doesn't work and removing and re-adding the printer driver.
Note: I did check out the open source Gutenprint drivers (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net) but it appears neither of those printer models (or printer families) are supported.
The last step would be to contact Epson. I am suspecting 10.14.5 update is blocking those drivers and if so Epson would be the ones most well aware of this if it's affecting all their customers and they may have a solution. But it would most likely be to disable System Integrity Protection and try setting up the printer that way:
