When VPN is turned ON on my Windows PC, it cannot see my wifi Epson printer. I have to turn OFF VPN to connect to the printer.
The same goes for my network switch - I have to turn VPN OFF for access to my router via my PC.
Any ideas?

So if that is normal ("Sounds like the VPN is disguising the network you are on which is very normal.") then is there a solution apart from switching off VPN whwich I've had to do to get my services to work?

In another thread somebody had reported they had turned the VPN off, removed the printer completely, turned the VPN on and then added the printer back. And now they can print.

You can look into the split tunnelling feature of the 360 VPN feature.
From the My Norton interface, click on the down arrow beside Turn On for the VPN feature and click on Settings. Then click on the Split Tunnel feature and turn on the feature. Then try to add the software for your printer to the excluded apps.
