Using ssc_serv.exe (SSC Service Utility) for an old EPSON...

Hello,

I'm trying to troubleshoot an old EPSON Stylus D68 printer.
I have a Windows 10 PC (up to date).

I have downloaded and installed the SCC Service Utility.
On the installed ssc_serv.exe file, I changed the compatibility settings.
I tried the XP Service Pack 2 and 3 compatibility modes (I saw somewhere that XP is recommended), as well as Windows 98. I enabled administrator mode.

Issue: I can never see the main window of the software that appears, and thus cannot select my printer model, for example.

When I try to see what the window content would be by hovering my mouse over the icon in the taskbar, here’s what appears:

I occasionally received this error message:


Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hal

Configuration: Windows 10

    Hi

    I just installed the software on my W10 to test it, and your printer is listed



    See you

      Hello,
      My issue isn't identifying the printer but rather getting the software to run correctly on Windows 10.
      At the moment, I don't have access to the main window when I launch it. It minimizes to the taskbar as shown above, and when I click on it, nothing appears on my screen.
      You've managed to get it working, which is a good sign...
      Do you have any suggestions on what I should do to be able to use it?
      Thank you,
      Hal
