Windows 10: Epson V30 no longer in Printers/scanners

I have Windows 10 but my Epson V30 scanner/copier no longer appears in "printers/scanners" although listed in system as recently added.

Checked all connections.

Tried repairing with disc.

Tried uninstalling & reloading with disc.

Tried again repairing with disc.


Downloaded new driver from Epson.


How can I get this working again?

Epson scanner v30 not working with Windows 10

For anyone interested, I was having the same problem with my Epson CX11NF laser and these are the steps I took to resolve it:

1. Uninstall Epson Printer Driver and Epson Scan using Control Panel.

2. Disconnect USB cable from printer (mine was on a network connection and I did not disconnect).

3. Reboot

4. Download current driver and scan software (separately) from Epson website

5. Do not let Windows install printer for you, first install the driver from the Epson website.

6. A window should open asking you to connect your USB cable (printer should be on). For me, I chose manual setting and selected network TCP/IP address.

7. Click Start Menu and go to All Apps. Scroll down to Epson scan settings and click. You may need to add your printer here if not detected: Choose Local (if USB) or Network. Then Add (for me, I just entered the TCP/IP address of the Network printer).

It is possible that for some the last step is all that is necessary; although I didn't try it, you could start by opening Epson Scan Settings, deleting the current scanner, then adding back your printer/scanner.

I hope you find this helpful - it worked for me.

 

Epson Scanner/Printer no longer works

Until the November update my Epson Stylus SX515W worked perfectly on my Windows 10 PC. After the update I noticed a shortcut icon was missing form my desktop screen. I don't have a photographic memory so I didn't know which one was missing until I tried
running Epson Scan which failed to load. I have attempted to follow the instructions on this Epson® Official Support | Epson US which includes uninstalling Epson Scan, at which time I noticed that
there was a red flag against Epson Scan. The procedure required a 'restart' which I did, and returned to download the drivers and software. Unfortunately my model of MFP is NOT included in the drop down list!!! Where do I go from here? I'm tempted to try using
the Epson SX510W Series CD but I have a feeling this would not work and hope for advice prior to taking that step. Incidentally the thing doesn't print either. I'm not sure how I can contact Epson, perhaps it's not worth the effort as they will probably tell
me it's a Windows problem.

I've also seen this Epson® Official Support | Epson US which suggests I see if I can download a simple driver and presumably simple scanner software which, even if it works will probably
not be up to Epson standards.

Finally a question;- Why on earth did Microsoft go ahead with this November update if they couldn't be bothered to test it???

PS I thought I'd have a look at 'Devices and Printers' and discovered my printer was no longer the default printer. Having rectified this I now find it prints, but of course I haven't got Epson Scan software any more.

PPS I've now seen that there's another update in the pipeline, 'Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3118754)'. I've also seen that yesterday's update wouldn't change any of my settings, which is/was untrue as my Default
Printer setting was changed, and of course Epson Scan wouldn't work after the upgrade. I'm reluctant to go ahead with this new update as I suspect that it will cause as many, if not more problems.

 

Epson printer

Hi decided to go for the

http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/comput...one-inkjet-printer-17593381-pdt.html#longDesc

as it is wireless and ink including compatible ink is not to expensive and the price of the printer itself is pretty good, also the size is good compared to the workforce ones as they to me are pretty clumsy.
