Windows no longer recognizes my Epson SX130 printer.

I tried to manually add my printer and when I click on Windows Update to get a more complete list with sx130, nothing happens and I cannot select it. It was working fine before (it's connected via USB cable). What can I do to make Windows 7 recognize it again?
Thank you for your reply.

    Hello
    I don't see what Windows Update has to do with your printer. Windows Update takes care of updating Windows, not peripherals.
    Disconnect your printer from the USB and the power source, then reconnect it and install this driver.

      Thank you, Tribun: actually, it's by following the instructions in sheet n°7 of the magazine Réponses Micro N°13, step n°4 of "add a printer manually," that we find this information: we have: start-devices and printers-add a printer-use an existing port-select USB001-next-in the manufacturer column select the brand-in the printer column select the model. (This is where it is indicated to click on "windows update" to update the list of printers recognized by Windows 7, if your model is not found).
      The link you provided is not compatible with my Windows 7 32-bit version.

    You need to go to Troubleshoot and under > set up a printer & use a printer and follow the instructions.
    Go to the website, click on drivers, enter your system, and take the first driver.
    The one I gave you without knowing is for 64 bits.
