Windows 10: Blocked from installing printer driver - Epson XP-245.

Just bought a new Windows 11 laptop. Trying to install my existing printer driver - Epson XP-245. Have taken it off "S" mode, but still can't install as I get the message "This file was blocked because the file does not have a valid digital signature the verifies its publisher". The download is from the Epson site. Can you advise how to install my printer that installed just fine on my old laptop? Thanks

Epson XP-245 printer issues

Thanks for the reply. It was the download direct from Epson's site. I also installed the "Epson Connect" so that it can do the email printing as well.





I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean about the PCL/PS ?

Thanks

Epson XP-245 printer issues

Hi,.
I've just got a new machine, and it has a fresh install of Win10 (my old PC was a Win7 upgrade to Win10). Overall its working much better, but there is one issue that is driving me nuts.

When I print out on my Epson Xp-245 from Adobe Acrobat, it gets a little down the page, and then just stops. I can still see it in the print queue (no errors - it says its still running). The printer just seems to have other ideas though.




The weird part is that I can print the same PDF absolutely fine if I use Chrome to open . So thats a temporary solution, but not something I want to do in the long run.
I've checked my drivers and they all say they are up to date. Win10 updates are all complete as well.
Any other ideas on what I could try?

TIA
Andy

Just as an update. I tried using another PDF reader, and it has the exact same problem. Very odd seeing as Adobe worked fine on my old machine with the same printer.

 

Epson Printer Driver - XP driver installed on 10 - device not showing as printer

I inherited an Epson Stylus Pro9600(~2003) and would like to get it working for a local non-profit.

• I downloaded the last driver available from the epson site. It was for Windows XP (64-bit)

SPT_C473001UCM | Epson Stylus Pro 9600 - UltraChrome Ink | Epson Stylus Pro Series | Professional Imaging Printers | Printers | Support | Epson US

• Ran setup in "compatibility" mode for running the older driver and it said the driver was installed correctly.
• Try to print and the new printer is not available to print from.
• Checking in the control panel>hardware> "Devices and Printers" the Epson (showing as 'usb2.0 printer') is in the "unspecified Devices" section rather than the "printers" one.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
