Epson Stylus CX5200
Hi Folks
I've had help from people on here before so now it's my turn(!) .... A few days ago I posted a message saying I was having trouble with my CX5200. It is on my new 'Vista Home Premium' Pc and is being shared by my older 'XP' Pc (using a router network). Some facilities didn't work at all, the printing process was dead slow (especially when printing from the 'XP' Pc), I couldn't see the ink levels etc. I'm glad to say that, after spending many hours investigating, contacting Epson and generally twiddling with various settings, things are better (by about 50%). BUT I'm sure that will be the limit of any improvements and, fairly soon, I'm sure I'll find myself getting a new replacement printer. Anyway .... Basically, Epson are not going to issue new drivers and so that's it - in fairness, though, I must say that one of their Tech guys was as helpful as he could be. He emailed me some instructions which were useful and involved getting a download from the Microsoft site (yeh, not the Epson site). I think the download in fact comprises new drivers but they only half do the job. Still, I guess something's better than nothing! If anyone would like to make use of a copy of the info given to me by Epson, just reply on here and I'll post it on one of my websites for all to see. Cheers John |
