epson printer driver not installing

My Epson R300 was detected automatically by W7, didn't need to install any extra drivers, W7 had them already (although that may be because its an old printer, depends how new yours is). I'd try removing the epson software, plugging in the printer and uninstall through Device Manager (selecting remove software). Reboot and see if its useable then.

 

epson printer driver not installing

Mmmm, only thing else I can think off is trying Windows Update, otherwise I too am clueless, LOL. I just had a look on the Epson site and they didn't even list a driver for mine under W7, but it worked in W7 when I tried it, even had the epson control panel. Well, until there was a sickening sound of broken plastic and it went west, but thats another story, LOL.

Can you test the printer on another PC by any chance?

 

Printer Epson Stylus SX415

I have contacted Epson and they have suggested that I download and install a new printer driver for my Epson that is not now working. I get through the Licence agreement and then get the message "The printer driver cannot be installed". I also tried downloading
a program from your topics list and get the error message 0x8002801D the download wont run!

Before I buy a new printer is there any help you can offer. Epson wont let me use their help line any longer as I have repeatedly asked the same question!
