Q: Mac finds Epson printer only once, than it is disconnected (wifi)

I am able to connect my Epson Workforce WF-3520DWF printer to my router and it is found wireless.

I can print with Mac, wireless, exactly ONE time after installation.

After that the printer is no longer found.

Searching the internet, learns me it's a know problem.

 

Come on Apple, why can't this be solved?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

    Morning LCWo,

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    Disregard 10.6 and 10.7. The rules still apply.

     

    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:

    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147

     

    Hope this helps,

    Mario

    Thanks for your answer.

    Installing and reinstalling - I tried that several times.

    I did not try the software from the page that is referred to, because in the meantime someon suggested I should turn of the powersaving mode from my router. I did that and it seems to work. Since a day I can repetedly print and not only once.

    I hope it stays that way.
