Using CD drive for the first time. Need help!

I'm trying to put my Epson wireless printer on here, but it's not as easy as it is on a Windows based PC. Nothing popped up, and I clicked on Finder, clicked on the Epson disk icon, and nothing.

 

[hobbbz]

connect printer to computer

Go to system Preferences > Print & Fax

Click + to add printer

go through that wizard

Done.

It's a wireless printer.

I would try the Printer & Fax settings and see if it shows up and then proceed through that way. At least try it.

Are you installing for first time? If so, Epson drivers are already installed on most new Macs.

Just go to System Preferences and click on Print & Fax.
Then look on left side. Is the printer you want listed there? If yes, then it is installed already.

If no, then you need more work.

My recommendation - never install from the disk included in the box. Go to Epson's web site and download latest driver from there and install it.

Then restart Mac. With printer on and connected, go back to System Preferences - Print & Fax and look again.

It's a wireless printer.

You need to join it with a usb cord to your computer to install it first... Unless it has it's own ip address, (unlikely). if that's the case, you can just add it by ip address, but since you said it's wireless, and didn't mention if it was networked at all, I'll have to assume that it's not networked.
