Has anyone else noticed their smart home devices don’t play nice with older printers? My Epson works great for basic printing, but I’ve had issues with it syncing to newer devices like tablets and smart speakers. Anyone found a good workaround or solution?

Yes! I ran into the same issue when I upgraded my router. My Epson printer just wouldn’t stay connected. I had to manually reconnect it every time. Eventually, I switched it to a wired connection, and it’s been more stable since. Not ideal, but at least it works now.

I just dealt with this exact problem. My Epson printer has always been reliable for regular tasks, but once I upgraded my home setup with smart displays and voice assistants, things got messy. The printer wouldn’t stay online, and printing from my phone became a chore. I read a few reviews on https://epson.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html, and it turns out I’m not the only one. I had to reset the printer's network settings completely and reconfigure it under a separate Wi-Fi band. It helped, but it’s not perfect.
