    Trouble scanning with Epson WF-3520

    You might try running the Windows Troubleshooter on the printer.

    Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot

    List of drivers, utilities, and admin software for the WF-3520

    Epson WorkForce WF-3520 | WorkForce Series | All-In-Ones | Printers | Support | Epson US

    You might also run their Software Updater and see if there are any firmware updates for the printer, or updates for the Scanner software.

    WFS.EXE USES OLD SCANNER

    Windows Fax and Scan (WFS)


    WFS shows in my list of apps when I click start icon. When I click WFS however nothing happens. I have searched MS Community and found problems related to location and drivers for particular devices. I followed the location threads and I have found the WFS.exe file; see attached screenshot. However again nothing happens when I try opening / running as administrator. I tried again with scanner and printer connected and switched on but again nothing. I tried trouble-shooting file with default settings and also W7; again nothing.
    I have an Epson Perfection 3170 Photo scanner, a rather old model, that works fine using installed Epson apps/drivers.
    Does not seem to make sense; some obscure
