Epson printer issues with Windows 11

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?

    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.

    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.

    Well this seems almost too simple, but I'll share what worked for me. I installed Epson Connect Printer Setup on my pc and ran the utility. Magically, my printer and scanner started working!

    You can easily download the utility typing the name into the Windows Search bar and install it from there.

    I don't know if that will work for everybody but it did for me, so if you still have problems and haven't tried that, why not give it a go?

    Hope it helps!

    Grrrrrrr. Finally got Epson ET2800 to print on newest Lenovo desktop with Windows 11, but it won't scan - did fine on my 10 year old PC with Windows 8.1. even though the printer was very new for it. Didn't anticipate having problems with a new PC on Windows 11. Followed various installs. Nothing works. Not sure if it is an Epson issue or Windows 11 issue. Looks like quite a few Windows 11 printer and scanner issues.

    Have you tried downloading and running the Epson Connect Printer Setup utility? I know it seems too simple but I was having all kinds of problems with printing and scanning from Windows 11 and that cleared up the problem.

    Also, when you bring up Epson Scan on 11, you need to press the Alt key to enable it.

    I'll would be curious to find out if any of this helps, so hopefully you can reply with results.
