My home setup relevant to the printer is as follows:ġ- Desktop PC connected by Ethernet cable to routerġ - Epson Workforce WF-7840 printer, connected by WiFi (I've tried both 5GHz and 2.4GHz)Īccording to this support article from Epson's website,, I just have to make sure Epson Scan 2 and the Epson Event Manager are both installed and running on my PC, and that Network Scanning is enabled in the Event Manager.Īnother article from Epson's website, says to check the printer connection is correct in the Epson Scan 2 Utility.

I got the Epson Workforce Pro WF-7840 back in December, and everything works great but the scan to PC option on the printer. Epson Support by phone & email has been useless.Īs the title says, I'm trying to setup my printer so that I can scan from the printer to the PC, with the printer's control touchscreen panel. TL:DR - Scan to Computer option on printer doesn't work over network.
