When your Epson printer or scanner isn’t working right, it’s usually not the end of the world. Most of the time, it just needs the right driver. Drivers are like little messengers between your device and your computer, making sure they understand each other. If the driver is missing, outdated, or just wrong, your Epson device may refuse to work or act strange. But don’t worry—downloading and installing the right Epson driver is easier than you think.

- You’re setting up your Epson device for the first time.
- You recently upgraded your operating system (like from Windows 10 to 11).

- You lost the installation CD (don’t worry—most people do).
