The options would be these after having the manufacturer's driver.
Thanks

2026-02-12T17:10:09.1066667+00:00 Hi,
This is because the default driver doesn't have the manufacturer's driver. You have to reinstall it using the Epson manufacturer's autorun. You will have to do the following:
Access the start menu > settings > devices and Bluetooth > Printer > remove devices Epson ET-2861
Uncheck the two only options, then if you are using via USB cable, disconnect and restart the PC.
Link to the official Epson website of your laptop manufacturer: https://download-center.epson.com/download/?module_id=5aa791ca-5195-41d4-a626-64f7c2f05bcf%3A5.0&device_id=ET-2860+Series&os=WIN1064®ion=US&language=en
You will download the autorun and run it as administrator and follow the procedure. It will install the Epson manufacturer's driver and thus have the Functions
Test after installation.
Thanks

2026-02-12T16:50:12.81+00:00 I have followed your instructions as far as SELECT YOUR PRINTER.
There does not appear to be an option to MANAGE in the Printer Properties.
