Prerequisites

Before You Begin

Gather the following before starting the WiFi setup process on your Epson L3210:

🔑
WiFi Password
Your network’s WPA/WPA2 key
📶
Network Name
Your router’s SSID (2.4 GHz preferred)
🔌
Power
Printer powered on, ink loaded
💿
Driver
Epson L3210 driver installed
⚠️ The Epson L3210 only supports 2.4 GHz networks. If your router broadcasts separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz SSIDs, make sure you connect to the 2.4 GHz one.

Setup Methods

Choose Your WiFi Setup Method

The Epson L3210 supports three main ways to connect to your WiFi. Click a method below to see step-by-step instructions:

🔘

WPS Push Button

Fastest. Works if your router has a WPS button.

🔤

Manual / Control Panel

Select your network and enter password manually.

📱

Epson iPrint App

Use your smartphone to set up wirelessly.

🔌

USB Setup Assistant

Use the Epson setup CD or download the installer.

  • Power on the Epson L3210. The WiFi and power lights should be on.
  • Hold the WiFi button on the printer’s control panel for at least 3 seconds until the WiFi light flashes.
  • Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your router. Hold it for 3–5 seconds.
  • Wait while the printer searches for your network — the WiFi light will flash rapidly.
  • Once connected, the WiFi light becomes solid green. Print a network status sheet to confirm the IP address.
  • On the printer’s control panel, press and hold the WiFi button until the WiFi light flashes blue and orange alternately.
  • Open the Epson Printer Setup Utility on your PC or Mac (comes with the driver package).
  • In the utility, select “Connect to a new network” and pick your WiFi network (SSID) from the list.
  • Enter your WiFi password exactly as it appears (case-sensitive).
  • Click Next / Apply. The utility will push the credentials to the printer over USB the first time only.
  • After a few seconds, the WiFi light turns solid green, confirming a successful connection.
  • Download Epson iPrint from the App Store or Google Play.
  • Open the app and tap “Printer is not selected”, then choose Add Printer.
  • Follow the in-app wizard — the app will detect the L3210 in AP (Access Point) mode.
  • Connect your phone to the printer’s temporary WiFi hotspot when prompted.
  • Enter your home WiFi credentials inside the app. The printer will reboot and join your network.
  • Re-connect your phone to your home WiFi. The app will detect the printer automatically.
  • Connect the Epson L3210 to your PC via the included USB cable.
  • Run the Epson L3210 installer (download from epson.com/support or use the setup CD).
  • When prompted, choose “Wireless LAN Connection” as the connection type.
  • The installer will guide you through entering your SSID and WiFi password.
  • Once configured, disconnect the USB cable. The printer will connect wirelessly and you can add it as a network printer.

    Software

    Installing Drivers by Operating System

    Once your printer is connected to WiFi, install the correct driver on each device that needs to print.

    🪟

    Windows 10 / 11

    Download the Epson Universal Printer Driver from epson.com. Run the .exe installer and choose “Network” when prompted.

    Driver + Utility
    🍎

    macOS (13+)

    Go to System Settings → Printers & Scanners → Add Printer. macOS auto-detects the L3210 via Bonjour.

    Auto-detect
    🐧

    Linux

    Use CUPS with the epson-inkjet-printer-escpr package. Available via apt, dnf, or the Epson Download Centre.

    Open Source
    💡 Pro tip: After installing the driver, print a Network Configuration Page by holding the printer’s WiFi button for 3 seconds. This shows your printer’s IP address, signal strength (dBm), and SSID confirmation.

    Troubleshooting

    Common WiFi Issues & Fixes

    Problem Likely Cause Fix
    WiFi light flashes, never turns solid Wrong password or SSID mismatch Re-run setup, double-check password (case-sensitive). Try forgetting and rejoining the network.
    Printer connected but PC can’t find it Firewall blocking UDP 631 / mDNS Temporarily disable firewall to test. Add Epson to firewall exceptions. Ensure both devices are on same subnet.
    WPS button press has no effect Router has WPS disabled Enable WPS in router admin panel, or use Manual / App setup method instead.
    Keeps disconnecting from WiFi DHCP lease expiry / IP conflict Assign a static IP to the printer in your router’s DHCP reservation table using the printer’s MAC address.
    Mobile phone can’t find printer Devices on different VLANs / bands Ensure phone is on 2.4 GHz band. Disable network isolation / AP isolation in router settings.
    Error: “Printer offline” on Windows Windows using old USB driver Go to Printers & Scanners → Remove old entry → Add printer using “Add by IP address” with the printer’s new network IP.

    Mobile

    Print from Your Phone

    Once WiFi is configured, you can print from Android or iOS using any of these methods:

    1

    📱 Epson iPrint (Recommended)

    Download the free Epson iPrint app. It auto-discovers the L3210 on your network and supports photos, PDFs, web pages, and cloud files (Dropbox, Google Drive).

    2

    🤖 Android Print Service

    On Android 8+, go to Settings → Connected Devices → Printing → Add Service. Install the Epson Print Enabler from the Play Store. Your phone will then see the L3210 as a system-level printer.

    3

    🍎 AirPrint (iOS / iPadOS)

    On iPhone or iPad, tap the Share icon in any app → Print. If the L3210 appears in the printer list, it supports AirPrint natively. No app needed on iOS 13+.

    ℹ️ Note: AirPrint availability on the Epson L3210 may depend on your firmware version. If the printer doesn’t appear in AirPrint, use the Epson iPrint app instead — it has the same ease-of-use.

    How to Reset WiFi Settings

    If you change routers or need to start fresh, reset the printer’s WiFi configuration with these steps:

    1

    Power on the printer

    Ensure the printer is on and in idle/ready state.

    2

    Hold WiFi + Cancel for 3 seconds

    Press and hold both the WiFi button and the Cancel (✕) button simultaneously for 3 seconds. The printer will beep and all lights will briefly flash.

    3

    WiFi light turns off

    The WiFi indicator light will turn off, confirming the wireless settings have been cleared. The printer is now in a factory WiFi state.

    4

    Re-run your preferred setup method

    Use WPS, Manual, or the Epson app to reconnect to your new or existing network.
