MacBook Pro "unable to communicate with the printer at this time" When selecting a printer from the printer due ( in this case, a Epson XP 7100 series printer), I get the message " unable to communicate with the printer at this time" Both the computer are connected to the same wi-fi. How do I correct this? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

"Communication Error" when trying to print wirelessly using my iMac and Epson over WiFi Has anyone found a solution? The printer had been working absolutely fine but then stopped with a 'communication error'. I have tried everything, taken all advice I can find, including resetting the printing system on my mac but nothing works! Mac is using Ventura 13.7. Printer is on wifi. Can anyone help?

printer not working after 13.1 update Hi, after the 13.1 MacOS update, my Epson printer is not working/connecting. Following is my environment and steps thus far. Hardware/Software - MacBook Air, 8Gb, M1, MacOSX Ventura 13.1, Epson ET-3700 printer, all connected on home wifi network. Steps done so far: Remove then add printer. Printer shows in the add printer dialogue box, click add, but then fails at the 'setting up' dialog box with the error message returning 'Unable to communicate with the printer at this time' Reset Priniting system, then re-try the steps above. Same result. Download drivers from Epson web site and get similar error when trying to connect to the printer. Check drivers on printer, uptodate no problems there. Check other Apple/Windows devices on the network, all can see, connect and print to the printer. Try steps above multiple times, same result. Thanks in advance for any advice.

You may have a different Epson than the one I purchased yesterday, but I am sure that the setup is much the same. I strongly suggest that you go back and carefully read and follow the setup instructions that cam with the printer. If that fails, then you should contact Epson customer service for assistance. It is their printer.
