Everything is on the same network (laptop, tablet, printer and iphone) only the apple bit has this problem. I replaced my printer as i thought it was a printer problem on a canon but same on a epson!?! My phone only works through wifi as i have no mobile reception here. How do i get the blessed thing to join my bt network rather than setting up its own? BT say nothing to do with them but problem has been since a hub update. I can print by sharing with the printer if i join its network but nothing AirPrint. Thanks for the help connecting my laptop and tablet to my et 2700 BUT any idea how to get it onto my iphone se? It has set up as the seperare direct-9e-epson-afb611 network. I genuinely spent a couple of hours bouncing between the Android app (which gave me a very helpful message telling me “Communication error”, to check the printer is on and not much else), the included software for Windows (which was just as helpful), the printed documentation in the box and the website, all to no avail.

Imagine my frustration, dear reader, when I found out that the whole wireless setup process for this printer is terrible if you follow the official instructions. I was excited to get it out and start setting it up (in part because we’re in another lockdown and what else is there to do right now)!

We settled on an Epson ET-2711 in large part because of the ink tank that should (hopefully) do away with the constant stream of expensive cartridges in favour of some cheaper-per-page ink bottles. New printer day! Our current one hasn't been working consistently in about 2 years and percussive maintenance isn't having quite the same effect it once had /JD0VuTpFJd- Matthew Champion January 28, 2021
