Hi Dilywn, Defineately time for a build my own PC projecy. goto control; panel, new hardware wizard, follow prompts, when asked to select from list, select ' add new device', then follow to ' I willselect from list', select epson, if your pronyer is shown, use that, otherwise click' have disk', then browse to your CD, and find the driver, it will show OK at bottom if a correct driver is found, then continue OK, it should load from CD.
good luck. mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dilwyn Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2004 3:29 PM Subject: Re: [ql-users] Printer help > No, it still don't work.
