ET-8500 refusing to print anything

[Plethon]

My ET-8500 is refusing to print anything. I am using the current driver on a MacBookPro. I've set the IP address for the printer and using the ET-8500 Series setting in Kind (not AirPrint). I've tried deleting and reinstalling, but no joy. When I send a job to print a blue line whizzes backwards and forwards in the print screen in System Settings, then it stops and says no jobs waiting. I've tried ChatGPT, but with no success.

Any suggestions as to what may be wrong.

This is not meant as an offense but the first thing that comes to my mind when reading this is my mother. Sometimes her MacBook connects to another Wifi, she does not notice and the printer does not print. But I guess that is not the issue here.

You said you have said the IP address for the printer. I assume this means you have followed the instructions to install it and the installation process worked? Right?

What could it be? My Wifi router has an an option to allow Wifi devices to communicate with each other. If that is disabled things don’t work.

Although I have an 8550 myself I am not really sure whether it has USB or not. But I think it does. Have you tried printing via USB?

Just my first thoughts. Maybe I have a few more ideas later
