    I can print a test print, from my friends laptop, and the printer will work using the USB connection.For some reason the wi fi connection will not work. It says the printer is offline even when it is switched on.Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction to correct this.Thank you

    :)

    Epson XP-245 printer issues

    Thanks for the reply. It was the download direct from Epson's site. I also installed the "Epson Connect" so that it can do the email printing as well.

    I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean about the PCL/PS ?

    Thanks

    Epson XP-245 printer issues

    Hi,.
    I've just got a new machine, and it has a fresh install of Win10 (my old PC was a Win7 upgrade to Win10). Overall its working much better, but there is one issue that is driving me nuts.

    When I print out on my Epson Xp-245 from Adobe Acrobat, it gets a little down the page, and then just stops. I can still see it in the print queue (no errors - it says its still running). The printer just seems to have other ideas though.

    The weird part is that I can print the same PDF absolutely fine if I use Chrome to open . So thats a temporary solution, but not something I want to do in the long run.
    I've checked my drivers and they all say they are up to date. Win10 updates are all complete as well.
    Any other ideas on what I could try?

    TIA
    Andy

    Just as an update. I tried using another PDF reader, and it has the exact same problem. Very odd seeing as Adobe worked fine on my old machine with the same printer.

    Epson XP-345 printer works but not scanner

    Yeah, I see that's Epson-Ireland.

    Got it - printer is Wi-Fi. With that... As Oscar pointed to your printer drivers you need to install the

    • Driver
    • Epson Scan software
    • Epson Scan updater software
    You might also need to install the "Other Software" in the "Event Manager" software.

    Also, are you sure you're looking at the main PC (the PC where you installed the software for the printer)?

    Have you checked you printer's network settings?

    I'd also suggest you go over the owner's manual for said printer. It can be downloaded via Oscar's link under Manual & Documentation.

    Anyway if things are right you should see both scanner and printer under Device Manager as shown for my Epson XP-960 Wi-Fi printer...

    (There are not "hidden". And the printer is powered off)

    Good luck.
