I tried that. My computer recognizes the printer as being
hooked up to LPT1 instead of the USB port. I tried removing it from Device Manager, and allowing Windows to pick it up, but that still didn't work. |

Epson CD missing
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. http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/s...yp e=Overview Let us know.

Uninstall *all* printer references. Read your "how to install the printer" instructions a few times (some USB printers want you to install the software first before the printer's hooked up), then install according to the instructions.

Epson CD missing
Rick,
I couldn't find the CD, so I tried to install it using the drivers found on the Epson website. I removed the USB printer hookup and restarted the computer. I downloaded all three drivers, following the website instructions: "Note: After installing the Printer Driver download the Twain Driver and install before plugging in the printer. Then download and install Status Monitor." I tried it every way I could think: Install software, connect printer, turn printer on. Install software, turn printer on, connect printer. Install software, turn printer on, turn computer off, connect printer, turn computer on. Install software, turn computer off, connect printer, turn computer on, turn printer on after everything loads. I'm going crazy. |

No guarantees. Remove any and all software for the printer. Restart the
machine, reinstall from start as instructed on the web site. Tom MSMVP-DTS wrote in message ... Rick, I couldn't find the CD, so I tried to install it using the drivers found on the Epson website.

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. "Tom Ferguson" wrote in message ...

Remove it if it's there. Enable it if it isn't. How? Removing is easy, how do you enable it? |
