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.

    I ended up downloading the same file. So far, so good--Have not had any problem since I installed it

    I struggled for a few days with my Epson ET-2760 no longer working (scanning). It worked with no problems for a couple of months, but then one day MS did one of it's auto-updates on me and then "Can't find device " type of error message was displayed. Long story, short, I went to the Epson Scan launcher program, right clicked on properties and selected Compatibility Troubleshooting selection. It did find my printer/scanner, launched the program and I was able to scan using my Epson Scan 2 software. I answered "Yes" that the troubleshooting fixed the problem, and "it" saved the settings. I powered down the computer, waited about a minute and started it back up. Selected my Epson Scan 2 software app and it came right up.

    I haven't tried a couple of other apps that using scanning, Readiris 17, Adobe Photoshop, etc.

    Now to try and find something for my olde HP psc 2110V printer/scanner! It still prints, so why trash it?

    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
