If your Epson printer is not connecting to your computer, whether via USB or WiFi, several factors could be causing the issue. Fortunately, there are simple troubleshooting steps to get your printer connected and working again.
First, check the basic connections. If you're using a USB cable, ensure it's securely plugged into both the printer and the computer. Try using a different USB port or cable to rule out hardware issues. For wireless connections, confirm that your printer and computer are connected to the same WiFi network. Restart your printer, computer, and router to refresh the network connection.

Next, make sure your Epson printer is set as the default. On Windows, go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers, right-click your Epson printer, and select Set as Default Printer. On Mac, navigate to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners, select your Epson printer, and set it as the default.
If your printer is still not connecting, outdated or missing drivers may be the problem. Visit Epson’s official website, download the latest drivers for your printer model, and install them. On Windows, you can also update drivers through Device Manager by right-clicking your printer and selecting Update driver.
For wireless printers, incorrect network settings can cause connection failures. If your printer is not appearing on the network, reconnect it using the Wi-Fi Setup Wizard on the printer’s control panel. If WiFi issues persist, reset the printer’s network settings to default and reconnect it. Also, disable the “Use Printer Offline” setting in Devices and Printers on Windows, as this can prevent communication between your printer and computer.
If your computer still doesn’t detect the printer, run the Windows Printer Troubleshooter by going to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Printer. On Mac, try removing and re-adding the printer in Printers & Scanners.

Lastly, check your firewall and antivirus settings, as they may block the printer’s connection. Temporarily disable them and try printing again. If the issue persists, consider resetting the printer to factory settings and reinstalling the drivers.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve most connection issues and get your Epson printer working with your computer again. If none of these solutions work, contacting Epson’s customer support may be necessary.
