    Epson XP-6000 driver won't install on latest 19H1 build


    Hi folks

    even in "Test mode" I can't get Epson XP-6000 printer driver to install on latest Windows build (19H1) -- keep getting fail due to unsigned drivers -- even in Test mode where you should be able to install anything even if it breaks the system.

    Strangely enough I had no problm using the same printer on a Virtual Machine running latest 20H1 skip ahead build / fast ring or whatever its called these days !!!! and I also got the firmware to update as well. Linux Host using VMWare workstation with 20H1 - printer working fine in Windows VM - printer in Network mode rather than via USB connection --100% working !!!

    What do I have to do to get this printer to work on a Physical machine !!!! -- I can go back zillions of Windows releases and then go via upgrade but I shouldn't have to do it !!! --Even the epson software updater couldn't find the printer on the real machine !!!.

    On the VM : Windows is 20H1 Host Linux Centos 7.6 VMWare workstation pro

    Hi there

    I logged on then to US Epson support rather than UK -- downloaded software from that site -- all then worked OK -- maybe the UK sites are as confused as their Brexit thingies currently -- OK that's their problem / choice so not getting into that - but it does seem strange where essentially the same driver downloaded from USA or UK site gives different results. !!

    Marking now as solved as it's working fine on current 19H1 release on a physical machine.

    Solution : Get drivers from US site.

    Cheers
