Epson printers can be divided into two broad categories based on the type of connectivity they need to establish a connection with the computer. Wired Epson printer can be connected to a computer using a USB cable, while, wireless Epson printer can only be connected using a wireless network. However, before you begin your Epson printer installation, you should be aware of the most common issues that users face while completing the process so that you can complete your printer installation successfully in the first go.

 

Written below is a list of top 5 most common problems that users face during Epson printer installation.

 

1.    The Epson printer doesn’t stay on or doesn’t turn on at all.

Whether you are trying to install Epson printer without CD or you are trying to install Epson printer with the help of the installation CD, you would be required to keep the Epson printer on during the Epson printer installation process. However, sometimes, the printer doesn’t stay on for long or doesn’t get turned on at all. If the light doesn’t turn on despite you pressing the Power button or the printer keeps shutting down then you should follow these steps to resolve the problem:

·         Turn off the Epson printer and check the connections. Ensure that the power cord has been inserted into the socket properly and that the socket is perfectly functional.

·         Make sure that the power voltage supply to the printer via your socket matches the voltage that is mentioned on the printer. Sometimes variation in the voltage can also lead to your printer constantly shutting off. If the voltage doesn’t match then disconnect your printer and try to connect it to a socket that matches the voltage requirements.

2.    The Epson printer doesn’t detect your internet network

Sometimes, when you are trying to connect your wireless Epson printer to the internet network to install Epson printer without CD, your printer doesn’t detect your internet network. Due to this problem you would be unable to connect your printer to your computer and ultimately your Epson printer installation would fail. Therefore, to make sure that your wireless Epson printer can detect your internet network, you should:

·         Check your internet network and make sure that it is available on other devices.

·         Unplug the Epson printer and try to place it closer to your internet router. Now turn the power on and try detecting your internet network again.

3.    The computer won’t detect the Epson printer

It is very important to establish a stable connecting between your printer and your computer during Epson printer installation process since without any kind of a connection, your printer will not be able to receive print command from your computer. You can connect your printer to your computer using a USB cable but for a wireless Epson printer, you should establish a connection through your wireless network. If your computer cannot find your Epson printer, you should:

·         Check your internet connection and make sure that it is not too congested. Make sure that both your computer and your printer are connected to the same network and are receiving a strong signal. A strong internet connection is important especially if you wish to install Epson printer without CD

·         Make sure that your printer is not placed too far away from your printer. If so, try unplugging your printer and moving it closer.

·         Make sure that you have added your printer as a device in your computer. Search for “Printers & Scanners” in your start menu to select “Add a printer or scanner” option. 

4.    The printer prints nothing

If your printer prints nothing even though you have completed your Epson printer installation then it could be because your computer is not connected to your printer properly. You can check the basic connections and you make sure that they are not loose.

 

Another reason why your printer prints nothing could be because you haven’t installed the correct printer drivers. This could especially be true for you if you were trying to install Epson printer without CD. To download the correct printer drivers, go to “Epson setup Navi” website and navigate to the drivers for your printer model by following the on-screen instructions.

 

5.    The printer doesn’t seem to receive print commands

If you were able to install Epson printer without CD but your printer doesn’t seem to receive your print commands this could be because your printer is not set as a default printer. Go to “Printers & Scanners” in your “Settings” menu and right click on your printer’s icon to set it as a default printer.
