Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The drive download page lists Windows 98 as the newest OS supported. The printer must be extremely old. Obviously, Epson won't be able to provide you with a working driver. You might be able to have Vista locate and install a generic driver. Make sure it checks Windows Update too. Otherwise, try here: http://printer-drivers-updates.blogspot.com/2008/08/epson-impact-printer-drivers.html . (I am not responsible if the drivers linked to on that website are unstable or malware). If you can't find a driver, its probably time for a new printer. They can be had for #30 at Best Buy, ink and everything.

I think you can perform a free driver scan at:http://www.drivers-updates.net/drivers/windows-vista-drivers.html. Hope this can be of some help!

I can't find it from Epson site. Maybe it is not available? Vista have a lot of compability issues with older hardwares.

I was having a similar problem. Was just wondering if anyone had experienced a similar problem and managed to find an alternative driver to use.
