Why is my Epson printer showing offline after Windows update?

A Windows update can cause your Epson printer to show offline by corrupting print drivers, changing the assigned IP address or printer port, or resetting network configurations. It may also re-enable "Use Printer Offline" mode, block communication through updated Windows Firewall settings, or turn on SNMP status checking, which falsely reports the printer as disconnected.
