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.

    I opened the Microsoft printer scanner app that apparently was installed during the Windows 11 install. (My HP3050 printer showed up but not the scanner).

    I opened the Windows Fax and Scan app (searched for scanner on my computer), clicked New Scan (upper left in blue), then clicked scan at the bottom left. Maybe since I had used my printer, it recognized that there was something there....voila...it scanned. My printer is super old and it seems there are not any drivers to add. Hope this helps someone else.

    Sighs. If I had known this, I would have kept Windows 10 and I will be warning others. My V500 does work with the Windows 11 super-primitive scanning software. I'm going to have to do a lot more work in Photoshop and I haven't tried scanning transparencies yet. This sucks.
