  1. Windows 10 says USB Printer driver not available for Epson


    My Epson Stylus Photo 870 printer worked perfectly well on Windows 7, but does not auto download a driver for W10. Epson say itis compatible and that W10 will auto install it on boot up. This does not happen - in Printers and Scanners it is just shown as a greyed-out 'USB Printer' with 'driver not available'. Is there any way to - I'm guessing - emulate W7 in some way? To get the printer working again?

    :)

  2. Epson Printer Driver - XP driver installed on 10 - device not showing as printer

    I inherited an Epson Stylus Pro9600(~2003) and would like to get it working for a local non-profit.

    • I downloaded the last driver available from the epson site. It was for Windows XP (64-bit)
    Epson Stylus Pro 9600 - UltraChrome Ink | Epson Stylus Pro Series | Professional Imaging Printers | Printers | Support | Epson US

    • Ran setup in "compatibility" mode for running the older driver and it said the driver was installed correctly.
    • Try to print and the new printer is not available to print from.
    • Checking in the control panel>hardware> "Devices and Printers" the Epson (showing as 'usb2.0 printer') is in the "unspecified Devices" section rather than the "printers" one.

    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    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?

    EPSON PRINTER DRIVERS

    Is there a Microsoft Printer Driver for window 10 for an Epson RX 510 multi function scanner/printer.??

    I have downloaded software from the Epson site and the scanner works and Windows 10 identifies the preinter but it cannot be added to the printers.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated

    Thanks
