    Hello,

     I have a document in the queue that I can't delete

    Windows key + X
    Select --> Windows PowerShell (admin) or Terminal (administrator)
    Type these 2 commands and press enter
    --> net stop spooler
    --> net start spooler

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    unplug the printer from the wall outlet
    Wait a few minutes
    Reconnect the printer to the wall outlet
    Turn the printer on
    See if it works for printing.

    Download and install --> Revo Uninstaller
    Run it as administrator
    Uninstall all printer products from Epson
    Make sure to follow the tutorial to uninstall everything cleanly, including residual folders and registry keys.
    For the residue scan, check --> advanced mode
    Restart the PC.

    Download this driver --> WF-2630WF
    Disconnect the USB cable from the PC
    Turn on the printer
    Run the driver setup
    Follow the instructions.

    Hello either,

    Which Wi-Fi codes are you talking about?

    To be more precise, is the PC connected to the printer via direct Wi‑Fi or is the printer connected to the router's Wi‑Fi?


    And there you go, exactly...

    But alas, how painful the line spacing is !!

    The printer is connected to the PC and the scanner and document saving works; it’s just the printing of PC documents that doesn’t print. I have a document in the queue that I can’t delete.

      Is it therefore in direct Wi‑Fi (Wi‑Fi Direct)? A mini Wi‑Fi network with only the printer and the PC?

    Hello,

    I think you’d do better to connect your printer to your router’s wifi network.


    And there you go, there you go, there it is ....

    But misery, how painful the line spacing is!!

      You take a wifi access point with 2 or 3 Ethernet ports, one port to the modem, one port to the PC and the printer, possibly other devices, a smartphone, a tablet on wifi.

      If you can’t find a multiport Ethernet access point, a switch, plus the access point, or at most a router.

      The printer is then connected to the access point’s wifi, not to the modem’s.

      Everyone has internet and the printer is shared optionally.

      Otherwise,

      you would need to check the current wifi connectivity between the modem and the PC, by ping -t to the printer’s IP address, you can find it on the printer’s network settings page, which it normally can print by itself, page 20/21 of the PDF

      Even more reason to install an independent router.
