Default It says printer offline.

Using Win10 Home with epson51526D connected on wifi network. No
problems ever before and suddenly it stopped printing a document halfway
through a page. I pressed the cancel button on the printer to eject the
page. Now when I try to print a document a message flashes and says
'printer offline' and no printing happens. I clicked the printer icon
at lower right and the new document is in the queue. Control panel
showed my network profile is 'public'. I changed it to 'private'.
Nothing. I specifically selected the epson from a list of things, but
still no printing. I shut off the windows computer and try using a
Ubuntu machine via wifi. It prints fine. Win10 machine still wont print.
TIA. Bill S.

Windows update screwed the driver, does the printer show in Win 10
bunch of things you can look at.


That's a good guess.

This is, after all, Patch Tuesday, and what better
day to be breaking things, right ?
