Epson printer issues with Windows 11

Me too on Windows 11 on new Geekcom I7 mini PC with Epson ET-4750 printer. I download scanner driver from Epson website, and it installs an exe file, but no Icon to run the scan program. So I run the installation exe file, and it reports upon completion that everything installed OK, from the exe file, --but it is not!

The printer install file runs OK and prints very well, so I cannot understand why the scanner program Scansmart2 doesnt do the same.

Its installed alright, but where is it? Windows manager says installed OK also, but I can't find the "run" file, nor icons, mainly because I dont know the name of that run file.

I mailed Epson UK, last week, but still no reply. with the runtime file name. I can create the Icon or shortcut for my desktop OK, but first I need that run file name. Epson, if you are reading this, please reply to this forum.

I have also reinstalled Windows 11 several times, and it is completely updated. There are no other users on this system. I am the only top level Administrator, and run it with those credentials as top level administrator ( no subordinates ).

The Epson ET-4750, is quite an expensive All-in-One, and one of more than 30+ Epson inkjet printers I've had over the last 30 years, all which have had clogged printheads eventually, and scapped. It does print very well, but scanner? - nil points as yet.

How do you like this fact? I bought a HP Laserjet 7 over forty years ago, just after Laser Printers came to the UK. I ran my business with that as my only printer for many a year, -AND since bought it has consumed only 2 toner cartridges.

The second cartridge is installed in the printer here in my lounge and still printss very well, without any service at all in last 40 years. Congratulations Hewlett Packard, but there is a drawback- the only input is via old style SCSI connector which is HUGE!

All help much appreciated. Thank You All Terry. 25-05-2024.

My Epson 2750 is now printing garbage characters in Windows 11. Turned on my Linux Ubuntu machine and the printer works perfectly fine. Microsoft what have you done to the printer drivers in Windows 11???

I have similar issues, when I switch off VPN the printer and scanner connect

Forgot to add that Epson tech support was not help. Epson tech support had me try different things; e.g., pinging the IP address of the printer but pinging was not successful. Epson tech support finally said talk to the my network provider.

I have a Dell desktop connected to the router via ethernet. The Epson ET-3750 connected by WIFI to my network worked under Windows 10. After upgrading to Windows 11, it didn't work. The desktop with Windows 11 didn't see the printer on the network. Had help with Dell tech support. Because my desktop also has WIFI capability, the Dell tech support turned on the desktop's WIFI connection (Network Internet Settings). With the desktop on WIFI, the desktop now finds the Epson printer and can print.
