Also try tech forums on the internet Sue. You might find someone with a solution or who has managed to write a new driver. Try searching for something like 'my scanner (model number) no longer works with windows 10'. There is usually a way to roll back to previous drivers too (I can't remember how) but have solved a few problems like this that I have had, thanks to some bright spark on a tech forum. Good luck.

Thanks Inbound.


It's an Epson multifunction printer/scanner etc presently connected by WiFi.


The scanner hasn't worked since a Windows 10 update, and now (just today, though I haven't used it for a week due to flu) the printer doesn't work either because the laptop has stopped recognising the printer for some reason.


However I am changing my broadband provider this week, so I will wait till I get the new router and try again then, as there isn't much point in getting it going now and then everything changes.


I can't find the USB lead, though I presume it must have come with one, otherwise I would have tried connecting it via USB.


I had a lengthy email discussion in January re the scanner with Epson technical suppport, however they were not able to sort it and asked me to phone them. When it tranpired that I had to be in Canada or the US to do this, they said they couldn't help further and that I had to contact Epson in the UK (which I haven't done yet but if necessary I will). The scanner not working was a minor inconvenience, but the printer is set to be a major inconvenience if I can't sort it.


Obviously I have googled for solutions!

Hello Sue, Sorry to hear your problems, Concerning your laptop/printer connectivity Go to control panel then to devices and printers, find the icon for the printer, right click and delete the profile, scroll up and click on add a printer, it should then identify the printer and install a new profile, this might cure the scanner issue as well. good luck!

Thanks, I'll try that but I'll wait till I've got the new router set up!

Would it matter even if true?


It's a useful page and it isn't a business or money making ploy.

But it is a Facebook business page, Sue.

You've sussed me! The Omnipresent watchdogs on EDF have sniffed out my rouse! Facebook constantly bugs me to upgrade from "just for fun" to a business, trying to drum up their business under the guise of a promotion!

No matter, If you liked the page why not indicate so and then follow me!! I monitor it daily so any feedback or queries I will respond.

In case anyone else is having similar problems to me,I have now (at last) completely solved it. Purely by persistence, however.


Epson have apparently just put new drivers for my model onto their website (or at least the exe file has a different name now) and it all works fine now including the scanner.


Not sure whether to be aggrieved it took them so long, or relieved they now have. Relieved, on balance, I think!

Windows 10 automatically upgrades. But earlier versions of Windows are not being upgraded. They used to try that, but it finished a couple of years ago.

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.  
    • BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle. 
    • I have been training at the hub for just over one year. I really enjoy the variety of training offered and the quality of the instructors. Very effective group classes and enjoyable in the open air! A very welcoming place which makes a fitmess journey pleasant!  
    • We're are just about to get ready for sale, a 2 bed flat, very close to Peckham Rye park.  It has been rented out for sometime, so is in need of some TLC for it to look its best, before it goes on the market.  Would be interested to know others thoughts on whether its best to just have the place painted completely white throughout, probably with new grey flooring, or if it might be more appealing to add some colour/interest (nothing too drastic), perhaps something alittle 'warmer', with some nice (potentially dark) feature walls maybe? Wondered whether the days of going completely white might now have passed ..... It might be useful to know that its not a period or conversion property, but rather a flat in a private purpose built block.
