Epson Printer Driver "Windows Security" Messages

Due to a Microsoft policy change, Epson printer drivers released after January 15, 2026 will use Windows attestation signatures instead of WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) signatures.

As a result, in some operating systems, you will see a “Windows Security” message when installing Epson printer software, as detailed below.

Note: Epson printer drivers released after January 15, 2026 will no longer support Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. For Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2, see below.

Note: If you do not want to see this message for future Epson printer software installs, select the Always trust software from "SEIKO EPSON CORPORATION" checkbox before you click Install.

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

You will see the message "Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software". If you downloaded the driver from the Epson support site (https://support.epson.com), click Install this driver software anyway to proceed.
