Q: The 3.1 Update caused connection problems for my Epson XP-600 printer.

It is not a question; it is a work around solution.  I noticed the 3.1 printer & scanner update caused a connection problem for my Epson XP-600.  I had to go to the Epson website to reload the printer software and skip the 3.1 update to fix the connection problem.  This happened about a week ago.  I did expect to see a new update to fix the problem.  I see there is now a 3.2 printer & scanner update.  However, there was no statement in the update software description the connection problem had been fixed.  I do not plan to install the 3.2 update until I am certain this problem has been fixed.  I looked through the frequently asked questions.  It appears this connection problem affects several printers from more than one manufacturer.  I do expect Apple will fix this soon and let us know the fix had been added to the update.  Apple is usually good about fixing problems.
