The Epson XP 800 network driver helps Windows communicate with your printer over a local network, allowing you to send print jobs without a direct USB connection. Choose the Epson driver package that matches your version of Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7 to set up network printing and access the print settings available for your device.

Key Features

• Network printing support: Enables communication with the Epson XP 800 when the printer and computer are connected to the same local network.
• Device-specific print settings: Provides controls for options such as paper size, media type, orientation, and print quality, depending on the installed driver.
• Printer status information: Can help Windows display device availability and printing alerts when supported by the driver package and network configuration.
• Windows integration: Makes the printer available through standard Windows printing menus, so you can select it from compatible applications.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm whether your computer runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check its system type where applicable. Select an Epson XP 800 package explicitly listed for that operating system; compatibility can vary between driver releases.

1. Connect the printer to your network. Turn on the Epson XP 800 and use its control panel to confirm that it is connected to your router. Your Windows computer should be on the same local network. Guest networks may prevent the devices from finding each other.

1. Download and open the installer. Save the matching driver package, then run it and approve the Windows permission prompt if one appears. Follow the setup instructions and select a network connection when asked.

1. Select the detected printer. Choose your Epson XP 800 from the device list. If it does not appear, check the printer’s network connection and try discovery again. If the installer offers manual setup, you may be able to enter the printer’s IP address.

1. Finish setup and test printing. Complete installation, restart Windows if prompted, and print a test page from the printer settings. If you also need network scanning, check whether the download includes Epson scanning software or requires a separate package.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the Epson XP-800, run the Epson installer as administrator, and temporarily disable antivirus. If it still fails, clear stuck print jobs, restart the Print Spooler service, reboot, then reinstall.
• Device not detected: Confirm the XP-800 is powered on and connected directly to a USB port or the same network. For wireless, reconnect the printer to the correct SSID and assign a stable IP; avoid USB hubs during setup.
• Driver/version conflicts: Remove old Epson XP-800 entries in Settings > Apps and Printers, delete the printer in Devices and Printers, reboot, then install the latest full Epson driver package. Do not rely on Windows’ generic driver for scanning or wireless functions.
