The EPSON is a fine printer, but installing the drivers in Win XP 64 can be troublesome.

Installing drivers in Win XP

Installing drivers in Win XP 64

Here's the way I managed to install them correctly.

  1. Get the drivers here and install them somewhere in your computer,
  2. From the control panel do an Add printer,
  3. Select Local Printer Attached to This Computer. Uncheck automatically detect my printer's drivers,
  4. Create a New Port-->Standard TCP/IP,
  5. Printer IP --> 192.168.20.127,
  6. Have disk ... and select the .INF file where you installed the drivers,
  7. Say ok to everything,
  8. That's it!

Troubleshooting

No connection

The other day, we lost connection with the printer although she seemed to be working fine. The problem was its ip, which usually was on 192.168.20.127, somehow, changed to 192.168.20.169. And its network mode was set in AUTO. Filipa, brought it back to work by printing Network Status Sheets from the printer's menu and by changing the network mode to PANEL and then setting again its old ip, 192.168.20.127, again, from the printer's menu.
