If it's any help I have Epson Stylus C88+ printer and the W7 will not serve the driver over the network correctly. When I install the printer on W7 it gives a file folder icon instead of a printer. W7 would pull the driver from the server ok if the server was XP or Vista. I think there may be some common denominator esp. if the driver is loaded by hot plugging.

I even tried booting to XP, getting the client machine to print, then booting back to W7 on the server. That works until power down. Once you power up again the printer wants to hot plug the driver. Does your equipment have a driver download? On my model there's no driver download from Epson. You have to hot plug to get anything after XP.

im using a CX5500 all-in-one printer.
and there's a scanner too.

basically, the printer side of this all-in-one does not have any driver issues and everything is fine. (over the network is fine too)
the problem lies in the SCANNER side.

i am able to get the scanner working by using photoshop cs4, windows fax and scan or any import utility that is part of TWAIN.

the problem im encountering now is that the program called "EPSON Scan" is unable to run and im unable to use this program for scanning. i am used to this program because it allows me to scan faster and there's also more configuration.

yes, i can import pictures from the scanner but i want to use the software from EPSON itself and not the windows import utility.

I've got the same problem with the scanner part of my Epson RX585.
Printer works, but not the scanner.

Please note that there is a 64bit version of Epson scan available on their website - if not already tried this may solve the issues you are having

I have both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers, but it does not work.

The only solution may be to boot an OS that will work with it. A lot of USB manufacturers just want you to buy a new device even though the one you have works. They just don't write a new driver and they call the gizmo "end of life cycle" iow, buy a new TV so your vcr will work.

well I do dual boot with Vista x64.
the problem does not lie in drivers actually, it's solely the software.

If they don't even update the driver they're not likely to update the freebie included software. I think you're hosed.

OK, I managed to solve this problem.

After beating around the bush, it's bascially driver problem. The scanner driver wasnt installed and windows 7 uses it's own driver, causing the software unable to run.

To solve this problem, just install the driver through device manager by using the one provided by EPSON.

zm91, can you detail what you did to get your scanner to work please.
I've tried uninstalling in device manager and installing the Epson drivers, but I'm still getting the same error.

Update.
I've sorted it.
Uninstalled from Device Manager, update driver software, and browsed to my Vista Windows folder on another partition and installed the driver software from there.
Scanner now working.

Excellent! I was getting angry with this issue, but that fixed it...

My scanner was under Imaging Devices in the Device Mgr for those who can't find it right away (guilty here)

I used the CD That came with the printer/scanner and pointed the driver update to search the CD, and then voila! Epson Scan works...

FYI - I use the NX400

Thanks!

I had a problem, with the Epson TX600FW multifunction printer/scanner/fax (connected via wifi network), the printer would work with the latest vista driver from the manufacturer's website, the scanner would not, the Epson Scan software would install without errors but would not run, even in compatibility mode.

Windows scan/fax software, and any other programs I tried could not detect the scanner. The install CD that came with the printer wouldn't install. The printer wasn't showing up under device manager.

In the end I copied everything off the install CD to a folder on my desktop and ran the main installer in vista compatibility mode. Installed everything perfectly with no errors, and everything is working great now.

I recently bought Epson all-in-one TX210. With the scanner, even I had same problem. I solved it by installing 64 bit software "Epson_NX210_WW_WIN_3760_41.exe" file available in EPSON website (Epson Driver Download)

Install through device manager not working for 3590?

Pointing in the Epson folder on disk (lastest Vista driver) on "E52.inf" which is supposed to be for Perfection 3590. But after "OK" there is nothing to choose from in the following box.

Install with setup.exe is working fine on the FSC P7935 now.
But it did not at all with an older FSC PC with Celeron 2.4 GHz.

 

[Frubbs]

It didn't work for my Epson Perfection V10, doesn't seem to be a driver available for x64, I guess, though Epson's website reports 'XP x64 compatability' for the 3.5 driverpack for Epson Perfection..
Any other solution besides buying a new win7 compatible scanner?

Epson Scan Want Open

I have tried the suggested fixes but I cannot get Epson Scan to open. I have Windows 7 Priemium 64 bit and Epson Perfection Scanner V300. The software that came withe the scanner has no driver for windows 7 but I have the updated software from the Epson site for Windows 7.

I have uninstalled the driver in the device manager and loaded the updated software but Epson Scan still will not open.

Can guess I not doing something in the correct order.

Can someone help.

Thanks
