I have an Epson SX515W and it's been working fine for over a year now. I'm using it wirelessley with my time capsule.

It;s recently stopped working over wireless. When I connect it to my Mac, i run the epson software to tell it my network settings and then when I go to add the printer in the printers section of system preferences, it doesn't show up. I then run the Epson network software again and it shows that there's no network info saved on this printer.

On the odd occasion it works, after about a day it forgets the network settings within a day.

I'm assuming it's the printer but could it be the time capsule? Any ideas?

Thanks
 
Usually when I try to select the printer in printer settings, it comes up as EPSON and the Mac address of the printer followed by (ip). Now I only see the EPSON and the Mac address and when I select it, it looks for software but can't find any.
 
Anyone got a view on this?

I don't want to buy a new printer if I don't need to.
 
I installed that file but when I go to install the printer from the settings page, it's still trying to download the software from Apple and never succeeds. Any ideas?
