Hi all,
Does anyone out there know where I can get the driver for an Epson 7600 pro printer that will work with Windows 11? I know I can possibly use the simple driver that Windows 11 offers but I would rather use the Epson driver if possible. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Have you tried going to Epson's website?

Yes, there are instructions on how Win 11 will allow the use of a simple driver install. Thanks for the response

I will never buy another Epson specifically for that reason. I once bought a brand new Epson, and shortly after that, upgraded my computer. Epson didn't provide upgraded drivers for the printers that they were still selling at the time.

I had a similar issue with my Epson Stylus Pro 7800. Epson.com has only outdated info and drivers. I struck gold, however, with Epson.eu.

I had the same problem with an HP all in one with an OS upgrade on a Mac Mini. The old driver would no longer work, and HP had no replacement for it. I lost the ability to scan to the Mac from the printer. I can scan using an HP app, but I frequently scan multiple pages manually into a single document - something I could do at the printer with the old driver. But doing it with the app requires going to the keyboard after each page to tell the printer that there is another page - not really convenient when the keyboard is several steps away. Luckily the printer also talks to a Win 10 box that has the old driver, so I scan to that one when necessary and transfer to the Mac with a thumb drive.

The printer/scanner is about 10 years old. When I called HP about the driver they said their machines were designed for about a 5 year life and if mine was still going after 10 I was lucky goodbye.

I bought a new HP printer/scanner in hopes it would scan to the Mac directly but no luck - only with the app. Took that printer back the next day.

Update
Is Windows 11 compatible with Epson printer?
Windows 11 ARM will automatically detect your Epson printer or all-in-one and install a generic driver when you connect your printer or all-in-one to the same network as your computer, or when you connect your computer to your printer or all-in-one with a USB connection (and your computer is connected to the Internet)
