Unable to get Epson printer to work with XP

[anita]

We downloaded the driver for our printer from the Epson
website, but cannot get XP to recognize it and get the
printer working. Did anyone else have this experience?

I was able to get my Samsung printer working, but XP doesn't recognize
it in the device manager. Had to install a Lexmark driver as well to
stop the "new hardware" messages (advice from the driverguide.com
website).

The printer does show up in control panel \printers. I've seen quite a
few messages here about XP and printers.

What model Epson is it??? I had trouble with an Epson 440,
downloaded the driver & installed it &when I rebooted, XP
decided to load its own drivers anyways...LOL. Did you
follow the driver installation instructions?? Usually, you
have to install the drivers first, then shut down & attach
the printer, then reboot.
