Epson printer issues with Windows 11

So when you installed the drivers and looked in the system tray, did you notice the icon and the pop up menu look like it was made for Windows 3.1? Microsoft didn't do that. And when I got the self-extracting zip file from Epson, and it didn't work, that wasn't Windows... The problem is squarely Epson. They paid Shaq millions of dollars but didn't put any money into making anything else work. So it's an awesome ad campaign, but nothing more. And the parent company, Seiko, makes watches, not operating systems that run most of the computers on the planet. I wish Microsoft would make the drivers for this product so it would actually work, instead of a watch company that makes printers on the side. I will say the outdated system tray program interface made me a little nostalgic but that only lasted about 30 seconds... I love my brand new Epson ET-2850 door stop, or is it my new paper weight? Decisions... decisions...

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?

Same problem - Windows 11 has sucked and Epson most likely has problems keeping up with their remote printing BS. I've tried everything and Epson provides an err message updating firmware.
My Epson prints but unacceptable output.

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.

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