Win 7 64 bit & Epson 1280
I have a rather ancient 1280 attached to my ZT win 7, 64 bit computer and all is well with it but there is a problem pertaining to another computer that I own.
I also have as my secondary computer an HP Pavillion HPE and I also had wanted to be able to print from this computer as well. I looked at the Epson web site and lo and behold I could not find any drivers for it but I knew at one time that some type of drivers had to exist since this printer is functioning quite well on my ZT computer. Both BTW have i7 processors and 24 and 27" monitors respectively.
Not only would I like to be able to print on my HP but seeing that this might be a problem if and when I must reinstall windows 7 on my ZT.
Now on two fronts I must find a solution to this problem. You might ask why don't you just buy another printer. The answer is simple. I am a 70 year old senior citizen living at or near the poverty level. In 2009 I had to file bankruptcy just to keep the apartment in which I now live when my father (obm) of 92 years passed away. Luxury items are a thing of the past and so I must make do with what I already have.
Does anyone out there have any suggestions as what I need to do? I feel that I am lucky to have been fortunate in getting the 1280 to function with my ZT. This printer is at least 8 years old and still works like a charm. How about Vista drivers - can they be made to work and are they even still available, especially in 64 bit?
Any help is appreciated !
