Every time I go to use the Epson Printer (ET-2750), with Windows 11, it never finds the printer, it has to search it out. I usually have to go to the Printer app & "Remind" it that it's the printer. It goes through this troubleshooting mode of finally doing something to the "Spooler" and then it will kick on & recognize the printer. I have called Epson numerous times on this. But it appears to be the problem of Windows 11 and not Epson.
-Has anyone experienced this issue?

I tried that, thank you for your reply. What finally did work -- is I deleted and uninstalled everything related to EPSON. Then I connected the Epson printer to my router with an ethernet cable. Then everything fell into place! Don't know what caused the headaches in the first place, but I'm able to print and couldn't be happier right now.
Ok you have probably tried this but….. have you went to permissions and made sure that your device is able to be discovered by other devices? (There are two places if I remember right- one is obviously bluetooth/wifi, but the other was in update and security under “for developers” under “device discovery” which makes your device visible to usb connections and your local network).
If you haven’t tried that give it a go. That is what worked for me :)
If you have- sorry that was my best guess! I tried everything before that and that is the only thing that worked (and then I had to restart it after for the changes to take effect) It was a sudden change from an update the computer went through that changed my configuration.
tried that, too! Seems fine - - then push print -- and NOPE ERROR Communication error -- document in print queue
I have just spent 2 full days trying to get an epson workforce to print from windows 11. I have done everything at least 5 times -- installed uninstalled gone into the router as admin - everything I have been told or have read -- and the printer says it's ready -- then I tell it to print and ERROR Communication Error I'm at my wits end!! HELP PLEASE
So, I too was having issues with the Espon Workforce 520 printer not printing despite the printer being connected to my wifi network. AFter many failed attempts, I decided to reinstall the drivers from the Epson website but sitting next to the router. That seems to be the magic trick. It atleast found the printer and made it usable. It even printed a test page. Now hopefully it is reconnected for good. I pray. Hopefully, no mo drama!!
