Epson L3350 - How Do You Bonjour It?

I have got a new Espson L3350 to replace an old L3150. I seemed to have got the old one running a few years ago, but I cannot remember how.

The instructions are next to useless.

Anyway, I cannot setup the new L3350 with wifi. If I can get an IP address, then I can go to the web interface for the device and set it up. How do I do that? Do I bonjour it and if so, how?

I can actually get the printer working by plugging the USB cable into an old windows box and installing drivers and lots of unnecessary software, and even print something out. But It does not have an IP address so I cannot access the web interface.

I did manage to get a WPS pin code from the printer, but my access point (EnGenius EWS357APv3) does not have a WPS button.

Any ideas?
 
some printers can create a hotspot and you connect to the hotspot and tell the printer what other wifi network to join. then it gets an ip from your router

Interesting, when I bought my Canon MegaTank I also looked at the Epson EcoTanks. They both screw us over on the "maintenance cartridges" but the Epson had a better system for the ink heads rather than heating to high temperatures. What made me go for the Canon is precisely because it had a little LCD screen so I could attach it to the network since neither have Ethernet ports.

Looking into it, you have 2 other approaches:
  • WPS - no good with your router
  • Installer Software - When you USB installed it on an old Windows machine, there should be config tool in the bundle
  • Phone App - Epson Smart Panel App

Yes, on my freebsd laptop I can connect to the hotspot. I get the local IP 192.168.223.12 and the document says that the printer IP is 192.168.223.1.

Seems good so far.

When I try 192.168.223.1:631/ipp/print, either with http or https, I get a zero response.

Did try my phone. It did not find the printer. Hate using the bloody phone. Will possibly try again.

Did not find any config tool on the old windows box, and did search hard. Will look again.
 
Still trying.

Plugged it into the freebsd box with the usb cable. Can print! but cannot get to the ipp or web panel or whatever. Nothing in cups that gets me there.

Got the app on my android phone. Can connect with the "direct access" and find the printer. Can print! but again cannot get to the ipp or web panel or whatever. All sorts of rubbish in the app, but nothing in the that gets me there.
 
Plugged it into the old windows box again with the usb cable. Can print! but cannot get to the ipp or web panel or whatever. No config tool in the bundle. An awful lot of windows driver rubbish.
