Cannot print even if you have assigned the IP address to the computer and the printer.

Cause

What to do

You have assigned an IP address to the computer manually, but you assigned the IP address to the printer by Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA).

Assign the printer’s IP address so that it belongs to the same segment of the computer. Use EpsonNet Config and the printer’s control panel.
