In order to print to a TCP/IP printer, the first thing that has to be done is to get the printer set up for your network.
Epson's "TmNet WinConfig" utility is designed to do just that.

The printer should now show up with the new address.
Repeat this process for each printer on the network.

With the printer turned on, hold the reset button on the Ethernet Interface Card down for about 4 seconds, a slip will print that contains the printers IP Address, as well as the MAC Address, and other internal specifications.
Resetting the Printer to Factory Default Settings
Turn the printer off. Hold the reset button on the Ethernet Interface Card down and turn the printer on. continue holding the reset button until the printer completes the Power On Self Test (about 5 - 7 seconds, the printer carriage will reset itself to the home position). release the reset button, and the press, and hold the reset button. Continue holding the button until the printer prints a "DO NOT TURN OFF" slip. The printer will print a status slip once the reset is complete (about 15 seconds).
