When you install Epson printer software on your computer to work with an inkjet printer, the program automatically adds a service known as the Epson port handler. The Epson port handler is used for some advanced printer configuration, and sometimes you will see it running as a background task. If you no longer use Epson printers on your computer, you can manually remote the Epson port handler service.
