Have you checked to make sure the firmware on the printer is up to date? Often, a firmware upgrade is needed before Airprint can be used. Check the Epson support page for your printer to be sure.

Verify that the printer:

  1. Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
  2. Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
  3. Has the latest firmware version installed.
  4. Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
  5. Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.

If necessary, consult the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for help with the above steps.

I have not tried updating, because the pinter is new. However I can print on this printer with my iPhone!


What an attitude. 😠 Just because the printer is new to you doesn't mean it doesn't need a firmware update. This is likely the cause of your inability to print.
