Wia Driver
And then get to the point to pick a driver. At this point, it's VERY important to pick 'Windows Update'. Apparently windows when upgraded did not have all the drivers for Epson listed. After I did it, the list of Epson printers filled right up.
I'd seen the Epson Stylus Photo 500 in there, but I was presented with an option for 2 different drivers.
I choose the higher version number and it worked!
I am now able to see/use the printer and scanner, and the Scanner shows up in 'Fax and Scan' and I can use it in the Windows Scan app (download for free on the Windows store). The Epson Print and Scan app (from the Windows store) does NOT appear to work at all.
