I have an Epson Stylus c84 Inkjet that, according to the Epson support page,
should already have drivers in Vista (I should just be able to plug in the
printer, Vista will see it and load the appropriate driver, etc). However,
Vista cannot find the correct driver and asks for the original driver CD, to
which I try anyway and it still does not work.
I contacted Epson who suggested I try and use the Add Printer feature.
However, upon trying this, an error came up as soon as I pressed the icon:
"Windows Cannot Open Add Printer. Operation could not be completed (error
0x000000c1)."
I did not receive the original install disc from eMachines, and they have
been aggravating when attempting to get service from them. Any ideas? Thanks

Uninstall the printer.
Go to the eMachines or the Epson website. Download and install the latest
driver.
Reinstall the printer.

*Sigh* Ok....let me try this again:

The driver for the printer is not the issue. Again, according to Epson.com,
a compatible printer driver for my C84 should already be on Vista.

The issue is: When I try to use the Add Printer option, I receive an error
that says "Windows Cannot Open Add Printer. Operation could not be completed
(error 0x000000c1)." Why is it doing this, and what can I do to correct it?

In between sighs...Uninstall the printer. Go to the eMachines or the Epson
website. Download and install the latest driver. Reinstall the printer
whether or not you find a newer driver.

Which firewall, anti-virus or security suite is installed?

Ok...so, not to sound sarcastic (because this question is going to come off
as sounding that way), but how do I uninstall a printer that I haven't
installed? Vista does not see it, the original driver disc doesn't work (when
it's attempting to install the drivers, the install program just sits there),
and the current drivers I found for my printer at Epson were for XP.

If you're referring to the driver that Vista has for it, I don't know which
driver Vista would use to install my printer.

And again, why is my Add Printer command not working?

Do you see the printer in Device Manager?
