Windows 10: Unable to connect to Epson Printer after Windows Update

HiMy Surface Pro X recently auto-installed an update Windows 10 Home v21H1 and ever since then I can no longer connect to my Epson WF-4745 MFP.I have downloaded new printer drivers including a driver emailed to me from Epson Support.The error message reads "EpsonNet Setup cannot be started under the current operating system".I have even tried uninstalling the update, which couldn't be done.Has anybody else experienced this issue since the new update?Any advice or information about this would be appreciated as it has been days since I have been able to print directly from my Surface Pro. &nb

epson printer driver not installing

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?

 

Did our Epson printer get hacked?

Wow. I searched on a few of those keywords and saw some things relevant to HP printers but not Epson. Really interested to see what you find out. I've got an Epson workforce printer myself.

 

epson printer problems

Hi I hope this is the right forum. I have an Epson xp-405 printer up until now I have had no problems with it, it is wireless so I don't have a cable to the pc, the pc is wired to the router. I formatted my system as it didn't feel right and I had a couple of blue screens, anyway everything went okay installed everything plus all windows updates used the disk to install the printer as it downloads all the latest drivers and programs but when I tried to print with it I got this message---- Failed to communicate with the printer check that it is turned on and connected to the printer, when I done a troubleshooter from windows it could not find my printer. help I use my printer a lot. regards
