Win 10 Pro - Upgrade - Printer Error

D

After upgrading to Win 10 Pro from Win 7 Pro, I have this issue -


All devices and programs work except for a Epson LQ-590 dot matrix printer.


The printer is not auto-detected but I can manually install the printer. However Printers/Scanners shows the printer name but when printing a test page it states the printer is in a error state. The printer shows no issues (and the printer worked before the upgrade).


In Device Manager, the printer is listed under 'Other Devices' as Epson LQ-590. I can right click Update Driver, it finds a newer drive, downloads the driver and installs, but at the end it states "there was a error with the installation, see if the manufacturer has updated drivers on there web page". There are no drivers on the web page.


The printer is connected via a USB (from computer) to parallel adapter (Centronics printer connector) on the other.


Thanks for any suggestions.
