Have you try to download the latest drivers from Epson website themselves?

I have various dot matrix printers within my organisation using win 10 1803 and 1809 mostly. Don't seems to have issue.

Could you be more specific on what was the issue causing unable to print? Any error code or pop ups or slight hint that could assist in troubleshooting

Looks like firewall. Try enable firewall and share the printer setup again. And this issue doesn't seems related to the main topic for this.

It's probably just latest windows update change some security settings that will restrict usage of network sharing printer. You will need to reconfigure

If you roll back last windows update, it will work. It seems to affect all Epson brand of dot matrix printers including Epson laser printers. dry.gif dry.gif

No it will not. Epson is notorious for not having driver updates or revisions.Buying a new printer is not a solution when the product is blocked from functioning due to security reasons.

Is this still a thing in 2022?
I thought they should have fixed it by now, whether its MSFT or Epson.
