Windows 10: how do I connect the scanner on my Epson XP 312 to my laptop?

How do I connect the scanner on my Epson XP-312 313 315 to my laptop

Epson XP-312 scanner not working - printer to computer

Since installing Windows 10 my Epson XP-312 will not scan to the computer. It is a WiFi connection. I can get the reverse some of the time with "fiddling". The computer does not recognize the printer/scanner, although when setting things up a test page
was completed. It is so erratic! Tried uninstalling everything with limited success - some of the Epson programs refused to uninstall! I did use the supplied CD to try to re-install but with no overall success.

Are there any simple answers for a simple, technologically challenged OAP? Are the XP-312 and Windows 10 actually fully compatible? I did try the compatibility trouble shooting with no success. Windows 8.1 was installed before the update to W10 and
everything worked okay.

:-( Aaaahhhh!

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.

Three things...

1. Make sure you're looking at the main PC first for the printer issue. Move to others after that.
2. If the printer is connected by USB cable, check the connection is good (and cable ). You could also try switching USB ports.
3. Assuming we're talking main PC - If the printer isn't showing in Device Manager that says there are no drivers... or the printer can't be seen for some reason. Goes back to drivers and/or point #2.

I can't seem to find that printer - "Epson XP-345" on Epson's office site. Where'd you get it from?

Anyway I have an Epson XP-960 and it requires the utilities drivers for features like scanning or disk writing (labels). Here's the utilities drivers for the Epson XP-960 multi-printer.
