    New non sub printer connection

    You know that moment when you unpack a printer, and then realise it is wifi only, so your desktop pc, is still sitting there waiting for a printer.

    Arrrrggghhhhhhhhhhhh


    My fault I had an epson WF2520 I could not get a replacement so I ordered a WF2750 which is wifi only apparently.

    I guess there is no walk way around this issue is there ?

    I thought the WF-2750 was both wifi AND usb? Is there a usb connection on the printer?

    According to the online manual that model has a USB port on the back - its just Epson don't supply a cable for that connection. You can download the full user guide here: https://files.support.epson.com/docid/cpd5/cpd51270.pdf . The connection details are on page 24 of the guide.

    thank you, i have looked at lots online, and looked at their video online, but could only see settings for the wifi, I will need to find a bloody long cable now, as the old one was networked to the other side of the office via a network cable- the one thats like a phone cable thing. the model I have is the WF-2750DWF which the company I called that I bought it from said wifi only

    I have just ordered some cables from https://www.kenable.co.uk/en/ as I have been moving my own printers around. They do have long USB cables in their range, but they are very expensive, as they have some sort of signal boosting electronics half way along the length of the cable.

    Thanks Paul, I have ordered a 5m cable, and will have to jiggle the cable to see where that gets me to, if not I will order a longer one, like you say much dearer.

    Isn't a WIFI dongle plugged into a USB port on your PC the answer? It works for me.

    bloody hell Ray that never occurred to me might give that a whirl. I presume though my PC would need the wifi board bit inside it though ?

    If you Google "WiFi dongle" you'll see you can get an external dongle that plugs into a USB port on your PC. You can also get WiFi cards which do go inside.
