Same here. Epson ET-3850. Ran perfectly on 10. Then I made the deadly mistake of going to 11. Now it is too late to undo. I've wasted half of my life trying to get this thing to connect. This is a NEW printer.

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?

2022-11-02T12:16:38+00:00 I have the same issue with my ET-3750 plus windows 11 being a disaster with many other applications. I am going to have my laptop restored to windows 10 so that it might actually work again. Also lost the drag function in 11 for highlighting multiple cells in Excel and other apps, it is a complete nightmare, and productivity destroyer

2022-09-28T16:42:50+00:00 Same issue with the ET-2850. I've reinstalled that duck-plucker about 6 times. The last time Win 11 saw it halfway through the install. BTW Win 11 IS an unqualified DISASTER.

2022-08-14T17:56:10+00:00 I have the same issues with an ET-3760, have noticed that when I have the issue, the first thing that's printed when I get it to print are 6 lines, starting with a POST / ip/print HTTP/1.1 for the first line. The same 6 lines are repeated every time.
The Epson Printer Correction Checker is a life saver, has always been able to fix the problem sofar. Windows Diag not. Epson Printer Correction Checker always reports the same problem with a print spooler/Printer Queue problem but is able to correct the problem.
