Windows 10: How to Correct frequent Printer Errors from Windows 10 apps when Troubleshooting Finds Nothing

Has not always been a problem, but now every time I return to my Windows laptop, reconnect to Wi-Fi and try to print, the Epson WF-2760 has an error.


I try the Printer Troubleshooting and no problem is found.


The only recourse appears to be to turn the printer off and back on. But now every time I do that and try to Restart the Document Printing in the Print Queue, the printer recommends I do a Nozzle Check.


There is no problem with the nozzle check. I use only Epson cartridges.


This has gotten to be very irritating. Not sure if there are some settings I can check and change if required. I'm hesitant to Reset Printer with Factory Settings. Not sure that would be the answer anyway. Any ideas?

:)
