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.

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
I have a WF-3640 which worked fine when I first updated to W11, then suddenly it stopped working today. I updated all my drivers but still can't communicate with either the printer or the scanner. I know it's not a printer problem because I can still print and scan from my laptop which is Windows 10.
Any suggestions?
I had windows 10 restored on my laptop and everything worked again.

Did you face this issue in the previous version of Windows?
Have you installed the latest driver?
Try run Windows Update and download and install all updates.
Open start and search for feedback and open the Feedback Hub app and report this issue.
SOOO Just for someone else looking at this issue with Windows 11...
I tried everything. Undoing the last update... removing and trying to reinstall my printer.. etc. Turns out that the windows setting was set to "do not allow connecting to other devices" which stopped me from being able to use my Epsom EcoTank ET-4760 printer. I manually downloaded the driver from epsom here. Hope this helps someone going through the same headache!!!!
