Epson R380 drivers

[Gunny3053]

Hi Gang

Just loaded up the new Win 7 Ultimate, and cannot get my Epson R380 to work. It worked with the Beta version. Is there some little secret to getting the drivers for this printer. I have gone to the Epson site and tried to download the new drivers for Win 7, but still no luck. When you try to add a printer, what port are you supposed to use, I have it plugged into a USB port, the same I used when it worked with the Beta version. I really use the Print CD, more so then the straight printing.

Any and all help appreciated.....Thanx ...Gunny......

I was able to download the driver and run it with no issue

Hi Z

This is what I get when I try to download what you sent me and other attempts,
"The printer cannot be used with your current operating system"

I am on the 32 bit use and trust me I have nothing that I would think would stop this install. I have tried installing with administrator rights, and is it possible to be able to run it with compatibility.? I am using a Intel board, and I remember when I installed the XP a long time ago, I ran the software for the board, tried to run it with this version and it would not install. I was just wondering if there was some thing going on in this direction, considering the little error box I get.

Thanx.....Gunny

Try running the installer in compatibility mode

Hi Z

Ya I was thinking of that. I understand if you right click on the EXE file will give you the choice of running it in administrator mode, is administrator and compatibility mode the same.

Thanx...Gunny

Not exactly...do both (for best results)
