laptop unable to connect wirelessly to a pc connected printer
Hi, hope you can help.
Summary: my wife is trying to print from her Acer/windows 7 laptop wirelessly to a pc connected printer but not succeeding.
Overview: the windows7/pc is connected to an Epson SX218 printer by cable. The pc is connected to our Virgin router by a cable. My wife connects to the wireless network wirelessly but even though the sx218 printer is visible, printing does not work - communications error. She can print to another Epson printer that is connected wirelessly to the network.
I have tried updating the drivers on the SX218 printer, and run the Printer Troubleshooter which only told me to make it the default printer, but printing still did not work. I added the SX218 printer to the laptop successfully over the wireless network and it displays fine, although the Epson Status Monitor wont connect, giving the communication error. Printing from the pc works fine.
Any ideas? If you need more info please let me know.
Thanks.
