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.

    Hi Steve

    With computer on went through your procedures and indeed, the scanner worked. The only anomaly was that when the scanner was turned on it did not go through it's typical initialization (or normal warm up] process. It did however wake up, start and complete the process after it was selected to scan a document. BTW, the Preview and Scan Buttons were visible after all was done.

    My only question now (and perhaps premature) is that, if and when, MS and Epson get their act together how this will impact the "work around" that got the scanner to function now. Wouldn't it be ironic if it stops working after any MS/Epson "fix".

    Thanks for you comments and procedure--let's hope it doesn't need any more medicine....and the fix is permanent.

    Saya memiliki pemindai Foto Epson Perfection V600 yang tidak dapat saya jalankan di Windows 11. Saya melakukan instalasi dengan disk yang disertakan dengan pemindai, kemudian mengunduh pembaruan driver terbaru dari Epson, tetapi ketika saya mencoba menjalankannya, saya mendapatkan pesan yang mengatakan "Tidak dapat berkomunikasi dengan pemindai." Bantuan apa pun akan sangat dihargai, karena saya benar-benar perlu menggunakan pemindai ini.

    Saya juga mengalami seperti Anda, namun solusi nsaya menggunakan vuescan for windows 10 dan 11

    Lots of discussion. Look through past posts and go from there. I made changes referred to in one of the later posts and and the scanner (600 photo) seems to like it. It does its final boot up after being selected to scan, no problem.
