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.

    Actually, when I bought my v600 and tried to install, I kept getting errors that cpu couldn't see. Running Windows 10. The web is FULL of hundreds of similar complaints to what y'all are seeing with Windows 11. Epson support was not helpful. Most of us ended up returning the scanners.

    All this is fine but nothing seems to install the application to run the scanner, just the setup.

    Just goes to show you----Many different solutions for the same problem. It's been so long now I really don't recall all the things that were tried, failed and worked. So far, mine has been trouble free and works fine.
