Hi everybody, I have got a serious problem with my Epson wf-2510 and it doesn’t work anymore. Checked everything possible including software reinstall and bought a new USB cable but nothing. Seeing that I assume the problem could be the USB that is faulty and I would like to replace it with a same one female USB B type but the problem is that it is a vertical one thus 4 pins and 4 leads for the soldering junction placed on the square profile part of it. Tried to find the same piece searching down the web without positive result. So my question is if it is possible to replace the USB with another same non-vertical one? Or at least can anyone advice me where could I find the very same replacement somewhere on the web. I hope someone can help me and many thanks for your help! Update (07/29/2018) Here is the pic! Thanxs
Can you see it?
The part should be available from an electronics parts supplier. Try looking at either Digikey.com or Mouser.com for the connector you need. It may take some time as there are many variants available, but either of the above suppliers should have what you need. Dan
Have you considered making this printer a network printer? If you are unable to get the USB connection working, then consider connecting the printer to the router via either a wired or wireless network connection. It should work as well that way as if you connected it directly to the computer via USB.
