Epson Stylus color - ESC/P2

I have managed this on several system reinstals
Switch on tour Epson Stylus 680 printer or similar.
This should show an entry in printers with exclamation mark.. click on the printer icon to trouble shoot
Try to load correct drivers.. does not work.
Leave printer on for 10 minutes ... go to Windows Update and chose to recheck updates.... the correct driver will appear in "essential " downloads soon after
Download "Driver max" ( free) and back up this and other drivers permanently to save !!

Reinstall your system / whatever and you can reinstall the printer driver in case it disappears from Windows Update in future .
