Have an Epson NX420 and the wireless has never been a problem. The other day, I plugged it in USB to do a scan and something must have happened because now I can't print from wireless, only direct connect.

When I hit troubleshoot it says "ink/toner low" (a couple cartridges were low). I bought some new ink and just swapped it today and it still won't work. But it does USB, so ink is not an issue.

Any suggestions other than uninstalling and doing it over?

1. Are you using Windows?



2. Did you set up a Static IP address?

Don't know what this means? I didn't do anything and it worked for 2 years before.

lol didn't see that you hadn't done that yet. I need to get some sleep.

Anyway it usually a good idea to set up a static IP for the printer.
If you decide to you might want to read about it a little more BC I don't think the instructions I linked explained it thoroughly.
