Since updating Windows 11 on my laptop, my Epson printer will not print, but laptop can find printer. Documents print from my mobile so I know it is not the printer. Drivers up to date on printer; no pending Windows updates.

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Devices and drivers

    Here's what works for me when windows refused to recognise an Epson XP-700 on an ethernet network.

    1. Download and install latest driver on your PC from the Epson website.
    2. Go to Windows Settings on your PC, select "Bluetooth & devices"followed by Printers & scanners
      Click on the "Add device" button in the top right-hand corner of the window. For me, the XP-700 was now on the list of options. Select, install, and everything works for me.
      Best of luck everyone

    PS:. The reason I raised it here is because a fortnight ago everything worked fine. The only thing that's changed since then which may be stopping the printer being recognised by the PC is another bloody Windows update which fiddles with my settings.

    My Epson ET-2750 started printing garbage from Windows 11 Pro. Works perfectly from my Linux Ubuntu machine. It was working from Windows 11 so some update must have corrupted the printer driver. Not happy Microsoft. Reminds me of the early days Linux where you had to buy a driver for your printer.

    I am so tired of going to use my Windows 11 machine only to find some innocent sounding upgrade has rendered one or more programs unusable. I thank you for the reminder that Linux is out there. I will switch.
