How to enable network profile for Epson printers

1. Double-check the Printer’s Windows Compatibility

First, double-check the Epson printer is compatible with the desktop’s or laptop’s Windows platform. Users can do that by entering their printer model in the Find Your Product search box on Epson’s website. Then click Tech Specs and General on the printer’s page to check its platform compatibility.

2. Update your printer drivers

Outdated or damaged drivers stop devices from functioning adequately, so it’s essential to ensure your printer benefits from the latest driver and its correct version.

Here’s how you can update your printer drivers manually:

Go to Windows Settings.

Click on Check for updates
Select the printer drivers you want to install

We recommend using reliable third-party software that performs this action automatically and in a secure way.
