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.

Dear Carlo,
Thanks a lot for this works perfectly. I did wat you said - romoved the previous programs and just copied your link in my browser and in about 2 minutes it worked as before in windows 10.

Just to confirm, is everything working as it should?
I have an Epson 4490 scanner that wouldn't communicate with the PC and the scanner software was missing buttons and no scan preview. I changed out the original USB cable with a new updated cable. Solved the communication issue. Opening the software and hitting the Alt key will make the missing buttons appear. Go to Configuration > Other > Reset will fix the missing preview window. Hope this helps.
Good Day! It didn't work for me :( I followed your instructions but still, the scanner won't work.
thank you
