Printing without WiFi using Epson L3050 and iPad M2

Hi, I have epson l3050 printer with AirPrint but I don’t have any WiFi in new place (workshop). Is it possible to print wired or wireless with my IPad m2(2024)?

Connecting the printer and an iPad to a Wi-Fi network (router) is the recommended method.


There may be a workaround in this case. If you have access to almost any old/spare Wi-Fi router (or could buy a used one inexpensively in a thrift shop), you could set up a small Wi-Fi network for printing purposes only. The WAN/Internet port of the router does not have to be connected (you may see an error saying that there is not an Internet connection, but the Wi-Fi as such should work). The interesting part is the local side (LAN/WLAN). Look upon this as an experiment.


I cannot find that the L3050 is a listed AirPrint model, so you may have to use the Epson iPrint app for iPadOS:

(the L3050 is listed as supported in https://support.epson.net/appinfo/iprint/en/).
