I keep getting alerts related to this printer software. Please help me get rid of these notifications! I don't see anything labeled Epson on my computer. After I stopped using an Epson printer, I deleted everything labeled Epson. That was months ago. I am running macOS Ventura 13.3.1 on a MacBook Air.
From within System Settings, General, Login Items.....Look for
an entry in the list that has a small 'i' within a circle. You can click on the 'i'
and it will open a finder window to the associated location.
Or, using Finder, look in and view the files in these locations (using TextEdit) to see if you can spot which
one it is. (Go to Finder menu ‘Go’ enter /Library). Don't use your library from your username.
You can delete the ones you don’t want but keep them in the Trash Can just in case, so you can restore them if removing them ends up causing other problems.

You need to ferret out the remaining Epson software that you missed.
(the Event Manager and the Software Updater Agent)
1) Use Spotlight Search.
see > Search with Spotlight on Mac - Apple Support
2) And/or uses Finder Search.
Thanks for your help. I found and moved one item labeled epson in /Library/LaunchDaemons to the Trash and that seems to have solved the problem. (As an fyi, I cannot find this item in the Trash using Search in Finder.)
Is the Epson Event Manager in your User Login Items?

Here is what I have:
There is no other ESPON software in the list below that shown above.
No worries. In the future you can use the FREE search program called FindAnyFile.
