epson 660 /W98

Anyone here have an Epson 660 that could answer me a quick question?
I've just had a serious rummage at http://www.epson.com. The driver was
easy enough to find and download and I collected sc660_win9x_5.0c_en.exe the
driver but, which version of the Status Monitor do I use ? It's unclear as
to whether I should get "Status Monitor 2 or 3," and which version ?

regards, Richard

....I wondered who I was then, for a moment ! ...posted that from my Dads'
PC...anyway I found my own answer, the "ink tank" remaining ink graphic
thingy, is in the driver for the 660, so perhaps there is no status monitor
for the 660, and the ink remaining was all I wanted it for anyway. Other
features are not desirable because the PC that the printer is connected to
is a 166mhz...

regards, Richard

There is. Status Monitor 3.

thanx Hugh, I think I will download it - status monitor 3 that is. On the
main http://www.epson.com site, earlier today I got up a list of Epson
driver downloads, (on a dark blue screen, haven't been able to find it
since...too lazy to go downstairs back on dads' machine now...), and going
from top to bottom, there were a few drivers, then a status monitor
download, then a few more driver downloads, and another status monitor. The
list was very ambiguous with no information as to which status monitor
should be used with which driver.

regards, Richard

Start at http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/s...pportIndex.jsp

I'm familiar with the screen. I have at least 4 Epsons,
although I don't have my 660 at this location to check it.

I am inclined to do something that I rarely do,
which is to caution you to perhaps leave well enough alone.

Normally, I do not hesitate to update drivers, flash the BIOS, whatever.
But I have had a number of face-to-face combat sessions
with Epson's Monitor, one time going so far as to run Regedit
and wipe out everything connected with Epson.

Epson software in particular and printing problems in general
tend to cause me more grief than the normal Windows Whatsups,
so I tend to tread warily in that area.
