When should I update my Epson printer driver

A printer driver is a tiny program that allows your printer to communicate with your computer.

Updating your printer driver can:

• help prevent crashes;
• improve both your computer and printer performance, etc.

If your Epson printer is acting a bit off:

• error notifications popping up randomly
• not even printing at all, etc.

So it’sALWAYS recommended to update our printer driver whenever possible.

Try these methods

Both methods below work inWindows 10 ,8 and7 . And as the method list suggests, you don’t have to try both. Just decide if you want to do it manually or automatically and take your pick:

1. Update my Epson printer driver manually
2. Update my Epson printer driver automatically (Recommended)
