Hello,

Yes, it is possible to print wirelessly with the Epson EcoTank ET-2860, both from a laptop and from an Android handheld device. The printer supports Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct, which makes it possible to print without a wired network. However, to connect to a public Wi-Fi network, the printer usually requires a direct connection to a router or access point to establish the connection.

To print from a laptop or Android device, you can use the Epson iPrint app, which allows you to print documents and photos directly from your device as long as the printer is connected to the same network. However, if you only have public Wi-Fi, it may be difficult to connect the printer directly to this network as public networks often do not allow device management or configuration.

One possible solution would be to connect the printer via a mobile hotspot provided by your laptop or Android device to establish a secure and private connection. Alternatively, you can also carry a router with you to connect the printer to your device if this is possible.

I hope this information helps you. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for your enquiry
