Windows 10: Epson NX510 series printer uninstall won't work

I am helping my daughter with her lenova laptop. It came with WIN10 but got updated by Microsoft to WIN11. The system is extremely slow so i have been trying to remove unused stuff she doesn't use. She no longer has the Epson NX5210 series printer. So I went into Control Panel/ Apps and saw 4-5 lines items related to the Epson 510 printer. I clicked on each one and clicked uninstall. It worked on every Epson item scan, etc except the one listed as Epson NX510 Series Printer Uninstall. On that one it says it is uninstalling then will sit there for hours and noting happens.

Epson XP-345 printer works but not scanner

Yeah, I see that's Epson-Ireland.

Got it - printer is Wi-Fi. With that... As Oscar pointed to your printer drivers you need to install the

• Driver
• Epson Scan software
• Epson Scan updater software

You might also need to install the "Other Software" in the "Event Manager" software.

Also, are you sure you're looking at the main PC (the PC where you installed the software for the printer)?

Have you checked you printer's network settings?

I'd also suggest you go over the owner's manual for said printer. It can be downloaded via Oscar's link under Manual & Documentation.

Anyway if things are right you should see both scanner and printer under Device Manager as shown for my Epson XP-960 Wi-Fi printer...




(There are not "hidden". And the printer is powered off)

Good luck.
