Printing from Pages and Numbers to Epson ET-2815

Please can anyone help?

Just set up new printer to print wi Fi.

It will print photos ok but when I ask it to print a document it says ‘no printer selected’ also Printer does not show in ‘Settings’ under

WiFi it only shows my BT network. No Epson shown.

Been in touch with Epson - no luck.

Would be grateful for any feedback/suggestions. Thanks

iPad, iPadOS 16

Hello,


The ET-2815 is not listed as supported in About AirPrint - Apple Support.


The printer appears to require Epson Smart Panel, at least for some purposes. Are you using this app for iPad?

You mentioned that photos can be printed, but not some documents. Is this true for other apps/PDF files/web pages? Please provide additional information.


Normally, the preferred connection method for a Wi-Fi printer is to a Wi-Fi router (infrastructure mode). That is, to the same Wi-Fi network as the iPad. Is this the way your printer is connected? Or are you using some kind of Wi-Fi direct connection iPad to printer?

Sometimes, a power-cycle procedure may help in case of a device discovery problem:

Power off the Wi-Fi router, the printer, the iPad, and all other computers/devices. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the router. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the printer. Wait a minute or two. Power on the iPad. Finally, power on all other computers/devices.
