Does your Epson Status (Ink) Monitor work networked? Any tips on getting the Epson Status Monitor (ink level) to work over a network (wired or wireless)?

You must set up the printer for network usage. Your router may need the printer's MAC address if it is secured. On the network I set up, the wireless router neesds the MAC address and the printer needs the wireless WPA or WEP security password. IF you can print, the Ink levels will be shown as well as printing progress.

I installed it on Windows 8 with noroblems and it works fine (Text and pictures). I didn't need to use the disk. Windows 8 did everything, as I remember it asked me if I wanted to install the printer monitor (status and ink level) and a diagnostic program. It was automatic. I hope you have the same experience that I did.

Recently I successfully networked this printer from a Dell Inspiron and an iMac. So far, we have had no issues with printing from multiple computers.

this is from a8mark again when i had it hooked up i did`t have the router working yet. it was hooked up but was`t set up yet. but i did have it plugged into the router and it did work with my printer. someone gave me an Ethernet router so i went with that instead so my nephew could use his x-box. but i don`t see why it would`t work. cause your coming thru the router and then hook your printer right to your computer. with your printer hooked to computer ur computer will detect the printer after you run the c.d. for the printer

You can check a few ways - either via the status monitor using the Epson software you should have installed on your computer when you initially set-up the printer, or on the printer itself push the "setup" button. On the next menu select "ink levels". They will display on the printer screen.

I was having problems connecting as well. My problem.... I had the password in all caps instead of all lowercase lol as soon as I fixed that it connected right away. I'm inlove with the printer now!

Yes. I use Mac computers, which are very easy to establish a connection with the printer. Can't speak for PC's, but hopefully they've improved their connectivity process. Once you are connected, all I have to do is open my System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Epson > Scan > Open Scanner > and you are there! It will scan directly to your computer, from either the glass, or the document feeder. The scanner has many many settings, to help you adjust what you are trying to achieve. I purchased the Epson, because of these types of features. MAKE CERTAIN to buy one that is WIFI enabled, so it can connect to your internet, without having to use a wire. Good luck, you will love the Epson! Yes. I use Mac computers, which are very easy to establish a connection with the printer.

No problems here. Try ejecting the disc, remove all ink cartridges, turn everything off including computer andstart afresh following exactly all sequences in the quick start guide , especially when to power on printer andconnect USB. Set up USB wired first then do wifi if you eventually want to go that way? I run USB to my desktopcomputer and wifi everything else...............

Does the scanner & copier work over wireless as well or is it just the printer?

just using the print function should work just fine' providing your printer is in the network sharing

I had some early issues. Contacted Epson Technical support and they solved it for me. I suggest you contact them

Did you ever find out if it would load on Windows 7. I have an Epson Perfection 2450 and upgrade to Win7 and I cannot get it to work. Loved the scanner.

The software is not, it will work for normal display stuff, but some special features done with XP in the past do not work, and there is no update for W7. I reviewed this several months ago, so that may have changed if Epson has updated their software. I recommend you check their website to confirm.

James,I am trying to decide between the canon 830 AiO and the epson artisian 800. If you look at the negative comments both printers receive high marks for being ink pigs!have you tried more pages with the epson? is it still using as much ink? I wish thw=ere was some way to tell which printer is worse.

Mr. Anderson, Thank you for your respond, I haven't connect my laptop through the printer. I try the "activity monitor" you mentioned. I appreciate your reply.

I am using it wirelessly on 2 computers. I think you can use it on 3. To be sure call Epson Tech Support (800) 463-7766, 6 AM to 8 PM, Pacific Time.

Same Problem. Epson help center could not "help." I am returning the printer. So disappointed.
