Default Add Printer Not Working - Vista Home Premium

I spent the last few weeks with the same problem with my RX620... a driver
that was supposed to be built into Vista, isn't the directions on the Epson
web site are horrid. In the end I installed Windows XP/2000 drivers and it
works fine... No help from Epson or Microsoft. who continue to say... plug
it in and Windows will find the right driver... however it never does.

I did try the Windows Xp/2000 drivers, but again to no avail. It appeared
that it was trying to install the printer, but still couldn't identify it.

the remote user needs write access to the registry, the /ga machine
connections are stored at this registry location.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Print\Connections

sorry but on XP machine and Win7 under that reg key there are no
connections.
XP has Connection Key but is empty.
Win7 has no Connections key.

Instead they have both:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Print\Environments

and under this key there are all the OS versions and under each one
there are keys names version 2 and version 3 with the drivers underneath
