Windows 10: IPP Printer Driver does not allow EPSON ET-8550 driver and software install - MISSING...

Purchased new Surface 7th Gen, ARM, Windows 11 Home. Able to connect to the EPSON ET-8550 printer but all the features needed to print artwork are not available. Basic features of selecting paper size, Not able to select top/rear input, select paper type, etc. In Adobe Photoshop have just paper size. In Word, papersize but not type of paper. Can't update driver, Windows says latest/best driver installed.

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.

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?
