Windows 10: Epson printer driver cannot be installed- solved by under settings/update and...

hi, there,


I spent days to solve this printer driver problem. The printer worked fine and suddenly it did not work anymore. I was very frustrated and could not do my work for days.


In the end, I needed to re-set my PC under settings/update and security/recovery/re-set this PC to get it work. It must be linked with Windows 10 updating, which caused a extremely headache problem.


I followed the all kind of help on this site. It did not help at all.


Hope this can help other people.

epson printer driver not installing

Mmmm, only thing else I can think off is trying Windows Update, otherwise I too am clueless, LOL. I just had a look on the Epson site and they didn't even list a driver for mine under W7, but it worked in W7 when I tried it, even had the epson control panel. Well, until there was a sickening sound of broken plastic and it went west, but thats another story, LOL.

Can you test the printer on another PC by any chance?

 

epson printer driver not installing

My Epson R300 was detected automatically by W7, didn't need to install any extra drivers, W7 had them already (although that may be because its an old printer, depends how new yours is). I'd try removing the epson software, plugging in the printer and uninstall through Device Manager (selecting remove software). Reboot and see if its useable then.
