Printer / Mesh network help

[marc69]

Hi guys,

I'm struggling to get my Epson XP 235 connected.

My current network set up has my computer connected directly to the router using a cable and my printer connected to my mesh network wirelessly.

I can print fine from my phone when using the mesh wifi but I cannot add the printer to my computer.

I can ping the mesh node from my computer but I cannot directly ping the printer (.150). When I try to add it manually using the ip addresses in the 'Add Printer' screen within windows it fails to connect.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Marc

You've run the installer Epson presumably have provided?

Yup, it can't find it either.

I can't even ping the printers IP so until I've worked out how to get them to commuinicate I doubt it will ever connect...

I've tried putting to mesh into bridge mode and they still won't talk to eachother.


EDIT - Managed to set up EPSON remote connect which will do the job. Oddly enough, Windows seems to of added the printer now as well, I ran the setup with the WIFI dongle attached and it installed it. I've now removed the WIFI adapter and it's still works even without using the remote print driver...

I hate printers.
