EPSON Printers
Hi, If any one is having trouble with the RX500 drivers then install them using the XP SP2 compatibility settings - you need to run up the Wizard, which can be found by searching Vista Help the run the Epson setup utility using that - works perfectly for me with one exception, the tool taht monitors ink levels. All teh scanner stuff, printing etc work fine. Hope that helps until Epson pull their finger out. -- Hermit ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hermit's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=21752 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=533142 http://forums.techarena.in

what was recommended to me and works completely. was to unpack the files to a folder. open device manager, select the printer and do an update driver then browse to the folder you unpacked the files. reboot when done.

HOWEVER, you do not mention a METHOD Of "unpacking the files to a folder". Considering that the downloadable drivers are packaged in self-executing zip files, HOW do you "unpack them to a folder"? -- Donald L McDaniel Please reply to the original newsgroup and thread. ------------------------------------------------------

EPSON Printers
when I click on the downloaded exe file, it gives the option to run with zip,
one of the other check boxes is to not run.. checking that box and allowing the unpack puts them into the specified folder. "Donald McDaniel" wrote in message ...
