Install the printer driver and follow instructions. During the
installation the driver will ask you to switch the printer on,
connected via USB obviously.
If ythis is not done then the installation defaults to LPT1 as a
printer port.
Uninstall the printer from the printers dialog and remove from device
manager (all instances) then re-install following the instructions.

The usual procedure for USB-connected printers is to DL the files (epson.com
has the files but you have to get the Twain drivers (for the scanner
functions), the printer driver and the status monitor; there are three
packages.); install the files before attaching the printer; only then attach
the printer to the computer.

I have an Epson CX5200, I re-installed windows, but don't
have the CD for my printer. How do I go about re-
installing my printer?
