The Epson WF 3520 driver lets Windows communicate with your printer so documents reach the print queue correctly and available print settings are accessible. Installing the appropriate Epson software can also enable scanning functions when the matching scanner driver is included or installed separately.

Key Features

• Print quality controls: Adjust paper size, media type, orientation, and output quality to suit everyday documents, photos, or presentation materials.
• Two-sided printing options: Access automatic duplex settings for compatible print jobs, helping reduce paper use when printing longer documents.
• Connection support: Set up printing through a supported USB or network connection, depending on your installation method and software package.
• Scanning support: With the appropriate Epson scanner software installed, use the flatbed or automatic document feeder to digitize documents from your computer.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm whether your computer runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, then check its system type. Select an Epson WF 3520 driver package that explicitly supports your version and architecture; older packages may not list every Windows release.
2. Prepare the printer. Turn it on and make sure it is ready, with paper loaded and no active error messages. For network installation, connect the printer and computer to the same local network. For USB setup, leave the cable disconnected until the installer requests it.
3. Download and run the installer. Save the compatible driver package, open it, and approve the Windows permission prompt if requested. Follow the on-screen instructions to select the connection method and locate the printer.
4. Complete any additional setup. Install the scanner driver or scanning utility if you need document capture and it was not included in the printer package. Restart Windows if the installer asks you to.
5. Verify operation. Open Windows printer settings, select the Epson WF 3520, and print a test page. Check paper and duplex preferences before your first job, and try a sample scan if scanning software was installed.

If setup cannot find the printer, check the USB cable or network connection before trying again. A printer shown as offline may also need its print queue checked for paused or stuck jobs.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the USB cable, remove any existing Epson WF-3520 entries from Devices and Printers, then run the Epson driver installer as administrator. Reconnect USB only when prompted; avoid the basic Windows driver if you need scanning.
• Printer not detected: Confirm the WF-3520 is on the same Wi-Fi network/SSID as the PC, or connect directly via USB. Print a network status sheet, restart the Windows Print Spooler, or add the printer manually by IP address.
• Driver/version conflicts: Uninstall the old WF-3520 driver and Epson Scan, restart Windows, then install the latest Epson package. Don’t mix the Microsoft inbox driver with Epson’s full driver, as scanning and wireless features may fail.
