Windows 10: how do I install an Epson XP-245 on Windows 11?

I tried installing and updating software device and firmware, using ThinkPad T480s Laptop with Windows 11. I can set it to default when I search it on Devices and and Printers. Won't print a test page. * Moved from Community Center

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

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

Hi C, I'm John D, and I am happy to help you with this.

I understand you're having trouble installing the printer driver for your Epson XP-245 on your new Windows 11 laptop. The error message you're seeing is due to a security feature called Driver Signature Enforcement, which only allows drivers signed by Microsoft to be installed on the computer.

To install the driver, you can disable Driver Signature Enforcement. However, this increases the risk of installing malicious or unstable drivers. Before doing so, make sure to research the source and driver thoroughly. You can also reach out to Epson support for a digitally signed driver compatible with Windows 11.

I hope this information helps. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Best regards,

John D.
