Windows 10: Printer not working, is it the signal from pc to printer?

I have a Lenovo "all-in-one" pc, that is a Windows 10. All of a sudden, when attempting to print a document, it ask me to save it. I save it, click print and nothing happens, it request I save the document again. Not sure If I inadvertently did something wrong or if something is wrong with the printer or something is wrong with the pc, not sending a signal to printer to print. I ran a diagnostic on printer, but no issues were found. I am bewildered as to what could be wrong.Dolores

Wireless printer keeps losing signal

I recently bought an epson wireless printer (L355 ecotank) for my non-wireless PC (the only one in the house, everything else is wireless) but i keep getting loss of connection to the printer.

Dunno if it has anything to do with it but another PC here (also wireless connected) suffers from net connection loss sometimes. @ 1st i thought it was firefox and i tried uninstalling / re-installing it to see if that worked but after i noticed that the very same thing happened with IE so i ruled out to source of the prob being the browser.

The reason i mention the this prob with the PC @ all is because the printer's connection behavior is very similar: it's either online for quite a while or i have trouble scanning / printing because, although the router's page says the printer is online always and has very good signal, even when the connection is lost: this is what puzzles me!

The printer is located 2.5m away from the PC, with a mirror on it's back. I know mirrors block wireless signals but since it's behind the printer and not in direct path between the printer and the router, it shouldn't affect the connection, right?

 

Printer advice

hp printers have the most expensive ink of all printers, the most economical is cannon and epson so i suggest if you looking to keep costs down look at those brands.

that being said it may not have the best print quality if it uses less costly ink.

if keeping cost down is the most important then shop in reverse, find a brand that has cheap replacement ink cartridges then see what printers they are used on. then from that list look to see if you like any of those printers and if they are affordable to you, if not then select another ink cartridge and look at the printers that those are used on. this method will give you the most affordable printer and the cheapest cost of replacement ink.

personally i use the refillable ink cartridges like these: http://www.inkproducts.com/ink-store/catalog/Our-Epson-Refill-Kits-orderby0-p-1-c-4.html

 

Wireless printer keeps losing signal

I checked but my printer can't be hooked up by network cable directly: only wireless or USB cable. This means the other PC can only connect via wireless.

I do have a question: the path between my router and the other PC has only my bedroom's wall in it's way but the path between the other PC and the printer has also the mirror that is behind the printer. Does the other PC "talk" to the router to reach the printer or does it "talk" to the printer directly?

I haven't even installed the printer in the other PC: wanted to fix the problem in the main PC 1st.

Haven't tried yet. I did check the router's page and it does in fact state that it has very good signal and yet i can't print / scan because it's "not ready".
