If you recently purchased a printer from Epson and wondering how to install it, you are at the right place. You can connect your Epson printers to Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS, depending upon which device you have.

Installing an Epson printer is a relatively easy process. You don’t need any kind of CD or DVD drive to perform an installation. Simply running a setup utility tool from Epson will make your printer ready for use.

In this article, you will learn a step-by-step guide on installing an Epson printer on your device.

There are basically two main steps you need to do before installing an Epson printer on your device. The first thing you need to do is to connect your printer to your preferred device. And next is to install the printer application and drivers to your computer or mobile phone.

There are some prior operations you need to carry out before connecting the printer to your PC or phone. First, connect the power cord of your printer to the electrical outlet on your wall. You can also use an extension cord for connection. Just make sure you are giving a constant power supply to your printer. Next, press the power button on your printer’s button panel and turn on the printer.

You can use different modes like USB, LAN cable, or wireless connection to connect your printer depending upon what you find convenient.

This is a straightforward method to connect your printer and computer directly. You need a USB A-B cable to connect your printer and computer. Simply insert A (wider end) of the USB cable into the computer and B (narrower end) of the cable to your printer. After that, you can proceed to install printer drivers on your computer.

WPS connection is feasible for you if you want to connect your printer wirelessly to the computer. This kind of setup is preferable if you don’t have easy printer access near your computer. You are good to go if you have a WPS PIN. But if you don’t have it, read this article on how to find a WPS pin on an Epson printer and connect it to the computer.

This option is for you if you plan to use a printer on a sharing basis. Connecting a printer to your computer directly using a LAN cable is not possible. But you can use a router or a switch to establish connections. It offers you a faster connection speed over a USB connection. 

Connect the RJ-45 connector on one end of the LAN cable to the router and another end to the printer’s LAN port. Your printer will automatically detect an IP address using DHCP configuration, and you can access the printer in your local network.

Once you successfully connect your printer to the network, now it’s time to install it. Follow the steps below depending on which device you want to connect to your printer.
