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 want to restore back to Windows 10, too, but I have a new laptop with 11. So I think I'll have to purchase 10, and after spending $450 on a new Epson ET, I shouldn't have to buy old software to connect it. Windows 11 has been out long enough for Epson to have figured it out with appropriate drivers. And, before we know it, Windows 10 won't be supported. It's a conundrum!
Please note: After my upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 , I started having problems with my Epson 3850 printer.
After trying to reinstall the Epson 3850 with in Windows 11 ; my Lenovo laptop could not find my Epson 3850 printer.
I thought it was a problem with my AT&T Gateway wi Fi modem so I tried to alter permissions to see if that helped.
What was happening was ; the modem saw the printer. The laptop saw the modem and internet connection.
But something in Windows 11 would not allow the printer drivers to install on the Lenovo. When I switched back to
Windows 10 ; The modem saw the printer, The laptop saw and installed the printer and then the printer was completely
functioning with the Lenovo through the wi fi modem. Problem solved by using windows 10. I now am also using a different
Epson / a XP-6100. But I noted that the install function on Windows 11 would time out like it had to much bloat wear installed
that seemed to interfere with the Epson installation time and time out. With Windows 10 the auto install worked fine.
I hope this is some help, and good luck.
Thanks, I just HATE to go back to Windows 10. Not that I didn't really like it! Going back will cost me to purchase the program (Windows 11 was installed on my new laptop), but I'll also lose everything on my laptop as far as icons and all that stuff. Programs. Apps. But I do have all my photos, graphics, and documents on an external drive, so I won't lose those. I guess I'll bite the bullet and go back. I've done a bunch of stuff today and the printer is working, but probably tomorrow it won't. As soon as that happens, I'll get Windows 10. And probably be happy with my printer again!
I appreciate your response. :)
I have an old Epson DX8400 that I just use for scanning. I recently upgraded from Win 10 to 11 and would like to share my experience with you. The Epson Scan app opens but the Preview and Scan buttons are missing, however if you move the mouse to where they should be and left mouse button click the button appears and will Preview or Scan as appropriate.
P.S. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the software - no help. Windows 11 sucks.
