Scanner won't run on Windows 11

I have an Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner that I can't get to run on Windows 11. I did an install with the disk that came with the scanner, then downloaded the latest driver update from Epson, but when I try to run it, I get a message saying "Can't communicate with scanner." Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I really need to use this scanner.

    Ashish,

    Thank you, I didn't remove the old driver, maybe that will work. Currently, I have to download the "fix" every time I use my scanner. I also need the photo spot remover and red-eye corrector they removed with Windows 11, this is a great lesson for me, wait before I install upgrades :)

    I finally went to the Epson website and found a V600 scanner driver specifically listed for Windows 11. After installing this the scanner immediately worked properly - so far, so good.

    Can you provide the link for that V600 (W11) scanner driver please - thanks

    Scanner is an old model that was originally for Windows XP. It doesn't have Windows 10 or 11 drivers so it is using Windows 8 drivers. See- System Requirements (epson.com)

    Try asking Epson what to do. They probably will say to buy a new All in One.
