If EpsonNet Setup cannot find your product on a network, try these solutions: Make sure your product is turned on and connected to your network. Verify connection using your product control panel. Check if your network name (SSID) contains non-ASCII characters.
Note: If you don`t see your printer, make sure your Android device and printer are connected to the same wireless network and tap Search at the bottom of the screen to search again. If you still don`t see your printer, you can connect manually to the printer from the Manual IP tab or tap Wi-Fi Direct Setup.
Check cables or wireless connection
Make sure that the printer`s USB cable is properly connected from the printer to your PC. If your USB isn`t recognized, see Automatically diagnose and fix Windows USB problems. Check the wireless connection (for wireless printers).
To fix printer not detected error, restart the printer by unpluggin it from the outlet and plug it back to see if it works. Check for printer connection. If everything is just fine, install the printer driver and update it.
The “printer icon not showing in devices and printers” issue mostly occurs for various reasons. For instance, it may occur when there is a corrupted printer driver or a corrupted system. Besides, if there is no Bluetooth support, the printer icon missing problem may also appear.

If this happens, go to Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners, select your printer, and remove it. Then click Add a Printer or Scanner to re-add it to the device list.
Turn on the bluetooth on your phone and printer. Go to Settings > Bluetooth. Tap on your printer. You should now be paired.
On your Android device, download the Epson Print Enabler plug-in from Google Play. Go to settings on your Android device, select printers, and enable the Epson plug-in. Connect your Android device to the same wireless network as your product. Now you are ready to print.
Your printer should have been packaged with a USB cable regardless of whether it is a wireless or wired printer. Plug the cable into your printer and your computer`s USB port. The direct linking should trigger your computer to recognize the printer and start up the software needed to complete the installation.
Make sure that both ends of the USB cable are correctly inserted into the computer and the printer. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable at both ends. Disconnect the printer and the computer and reconnect them. Try another USB port if available.
In the Settings window, go to Devices > Printers & scanners. Under the Add printers & scanners section, select the Add a printer or scanner button. Wait for the computer as it tries to find nearby devices, both connected directly to your computer or via the network.
Try the following: Make sure your product is turned on and securely connected to your computer or USB hub. If your product is connected to a USB hub, make sure it`s connected to a first tier hub (the hub closest to the computer) that has its own A/C adapter when more than one hub is connected to the computer.
