Install Epson drivers on Windows or Mac

Skip the generic OS driver — the full Epson package gives you scan support, maintenance tools, and reliable ink-level reporting.

01 · Identify — does this match what you see?

  • Printer prints but options like maintenance or scanning are missing
  • First-time setup on a new computer
  • Driver conflicts after an OS update

02 · Resolve — follow in order

  1. 1

    Uninstall any old Epson entries first: Windows → Settings → Printers; Mac → Printers & Scanners, then delete leftover drivers.

  2. 2

    Download the full “Drivers and Utilities Combo Package” for your exact model from Epson's support site.

  3. 3

    Run the installer and connect by Wi-Fi or USB when it asks — not before.

  4. 4

    On Mac, add the printer and make sure “Use” shows the Epson driver, not AirPrint, for full features.

  5. 5

    Print a test page and open the Epson utility to confirm ink levels read correctly.

Pro tip

AirPrint gets a Mac printing in seconds but hides maintenance tools. Install the Epson driver anyway — you can keep both queues.
