After a few months of having this Epson printer, I feel that I'm at less than 100% at making the printer work properly with Mint. The reason: Our Gateway desktop and HP Laptop (both 18.3 Cinnamon) won't print when jobs are sent. This has been since day one of getting this printer and connecting it wirelessly to our Netis WF2419 router.
When I or my partner try to print anything from any program, the print job hangs in the print queue. We make sure the printer isn't in sleep mode before printing.
I can sometimes get it to print by first pinging the static IP address of the printer, which usually shows unreachable first few lines, then packets are sent. After pinging, the job will usually print.
I'm at my wits end. Two of our Android tablets have no problem waking the printer and printing.
I know there can be numerous reasons why this is happening. Router, firewall, etc. I can give any and all information of the devices on the network. I just don't know where to start.
