The wifi light flash orange and green, then orange and then nothing.

Thanks in advance

Can you describe or otherwise list out what you have tried?

Do you have the User Guide/Manual? Look in the troubleshooting section and see if there are any explanations for the orange and green flash combinations you are seeing.

From what I could find via a XP-200 manual that light pattern is associated with a "wireless connection error". Probably the same for the ep-212 but doublecheck to be sure. Either way - not much help as you already sort of know that.....

Have there been any changes that you are aware of with respect to your wireless network? Do all other wireless devices work correctly? Any other network problems?

Do print jobs just queue up or not even get to that point?

Can you test the printer's functionality via a...

Can you test the printer's functionality via a wired connection or even a direct to PC connection? Maybe just generate the test pages.

Are you able to print out the Printer's configuration page and see the current wireless settings? Compare those settings to the current network configuration.

Need to eliminate possible causes outside of the printer itself - maybe its' wireless adapter is the problem: loose connection, failed, driver problem.....
