Hello.
I'll try the best I can to do show you.
This for AirPrint, to do it on your phone do the following:
If not working, reset the connection by doing a reset on your printer then follow the instructions here again until connected.
If I unable help, contact Epson Support. Phone number will be given if WiFi is not functioning.

to do this over Wi-Fi, the Printer needs to know three things:
1) what network-name is it supposed to join
2) what is the password to get on that network
3) how is it supposed to get an IP address (DHCP or manual at a specified address)
without all three of these, it can't join your home network, so it can't be 'discovered'.
There are basically two ways to get these into the Printer:
a) fat-finger it in through the printer's "front panel"
b) connect using a USB cable first, tell it the stuff, then disconnect the cable
There is one more way, but it is unbearably inconvenient. Leave the USB cable connected and the computer powered on at all times, and print over the network to a queue on the connected computer.

In addition, the path of least resistance is to use the AirPrint Drivers. Again this is part of the cute trick of printing directly from your phone. The problem with that is you get NO Access to printer special features such as alternate paper sizes, two-sided printing, manual feed, and features you paid extra for.
Once the Printer is selected, your Mac will have a discussion with the printer about its capabilities, and may propose several choices of Drivers. BE PATIENT. You must take great care to select the full-featured driver intended for Network use, not the (Often default) AirPrint driver.
