addendum: i just tried the problem work laptop and it printed another page. went to my office and the thinkpad carbon printed no problems at all. I set them all up the same and for some reason the thinkpad 220 is an anomaly. weird for sure. i did not try the old 201 yet.
oh i have a 2nd printer called the same but it is not checked as default - it appears the working one set itself as default from what i see. is deleting ok for the unchecked one? i have in the past with the HP - and sometimes it seemed to appear out of nowhere. but hate to start messing this epson setting up. thanks again Charles!

That is likely the same printer shared via Samba. This can be turned off in the printer settings.
The intent was for one PC to have a printer 'connected' to it and then any local network users could take advantage of the shared printer. A workgroup type of thought.

Re: EcoTank ET-2800 Wireless drivers???
allright but i believe i do not have samba enabled or even on the new MX even have it loaded. i think i chose not to since i never used it before, well i will keep it then.
like an old friend of mine used to say - if it's not broke then don't fix it; and if you can't fix it then don't break it!
it has helped me a lot over the years.
i will try these 2 laptops tomorrow morning. see if it is Good!

Re: EcoTank ET-2800 Wireless drivers???
hopefully final post... i must have accidentally set the printer timer to other than the 'off' setting so i had to power it on - even though i sent a job to print. when i turned it on the job from the problem 220 laptop printed. I tried another print from my carbon and it printed. so hopefully it is setup. thanks to everyone!
added: tried the problematic laptop this afternoon and worked without a problem.

Update/Follow-up: so far we are pleased at this printer and the connection has not had any issues. print quality is nice. when i tried 1 scan as a trial - the resolution was ok but i did not tweak any aspects of the scan within the scan app so i believe if i tweaked the resolution or whatever else it would be better. so far, as i said, we are pleased in case anyone is considering this printer. the filling from bottles is pretty straightforward too. beats the HP BS we had before.
