Since updating to Yosemite I am using a USB cable to connect to my Epson printer since the Macbook cannot find it.
The printer itself indicates that it is on and I have re-entered the password, etc. several times. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I assume you plan to try to use this printer as a WiFi printer on the same network as your Mac (and disconnect it from the Mac's USB port).
Yes, I do.
Set up as Wi-Fi, try

Ping printer: If you have the printers IP address open Terminal (Applications/Utilities) and at the prompt type: ping {printerIP}. You will get a reply or failure.

If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

Update: I am now repairing disk permissions on a regular basis which seems to keep the printer working wirelessly.
Don't know why I should have to do that and so am hoping that a future Yosemite update will correct that.
Thanks again.
You are welcome. I can't explain the permissions thing.
