Yep it is true I really am stuck!!!
OK I have an Epson WiFi enabled printer, now though I understand the principle of WiFi the mechanics am far behind.
So much so that when I got the printer I thought I could connect directly with my laptop, did not realise needed a router. (yes it can be accomplished without a router, but you need to establish a Adhoc connection, which suffice to say even the Epson Tech guy could not do.
So now I have a router, read the very short and simple instructions which came with the printer... Start Epson Network Setup. Could not find it, looked at help, and that goes down the track... Make sure that your device has no radio signal interference and that your device has line of sight with your printer. I thought what the hell sat the router on top of printer.
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Help...

This might be a long shot but when you are searching for the Wireless Router, press the WPS button and see if it can locate the Wireless Signal.
Do you have any neighbours around you with Wireless Connections that you can normally see? If so, does your printer pick those up?

Excellent, I'm glad you have managed to make some progress!
Sometimes Windows can automatically pick up the correct drivers for your printer. However, you might be as well taking a look on the Epson website for the latest drivers and software
