Windows 10: SMBv1 and SMBv2 - USB drive on wireless printer won't connect to laptop over WiFi

I have an older Epson all-in-one printer with a USB drive attached. I used to be able to xfer files from the printer USB to the laptop using WiFi. Now I get an error msg stating that my printer uses SMBv1 and Windows requires SMBv2. I found the article that said I could reinstall the SMBv1 and Windows would no longer uninstall it, but I don't know where to get it or how to install it when I find it.

Wireless printer connectivity from a wireless laptop.

I have an ASUS (Windows 10) laptop that connects to my wireless network fine. The problem is that it doesn't see any of my wireless printers. I have 2 Brother and 1 HP wireless printers. Wired printers work fine. If I connect this laptop to my network
wired I can see, connect and print to these printers. When I disconnect the wired connection and go back to wireless the printers go gray. I have removed and reinstalled these printers which did not fix the problem. Other wired PCs work fine with these printers.
Any suggestions?

Step 1: Prepare for installation

Before setting up the printer on your wireless network, gather the network name and password, and turn on your router, printer, and computer.

Gather the following items:

Network name: The network name is the SSID.

Security passphrase (WEP key or WPA)

A computer that is connected to the wireless network

Internet access (recommended): HP recommends broadband Internet access such as cable or DSL.

note:

Internet access is not required for you to install your printer with a wireless connection. However, you do need Internet access to use Web Services, get printer updates, and to download drivers from the HP website.

Your wireless-capable printer: Place it close to the computer during the installation procedure.

Make sure the printer, router, and computer are all turned on, and that the computer is connected to the same wireless network you want to connect the printer to.

Disconnect the USB cable if it is connected to the printer.

Optional: If you previously installed the software for a USB connection and now want to change to a wireless network connection, remove the USB installation before you continue.

Search Windows for your printer model name, then click the printer name in the list of results.

The printer software opens.

Click Utilities, then click Printer Setup & Software Selection.

Click Convert a USB connected printer to wireless or Connect a new printer depending on your version of Windows.
