Denney Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Maybe someone here can help me. I own an Epson Stylus Color 480 printer and have the drivers extract to the harddrive at "$OEM$\MSA\drivers\008_printers\Stylus480" and have that location in my WINNT.SIF file.During Windows Setup, it doesn't detect my that the printer is connected and doesn't install it. Then, on first login, it detects it and asks me where the drivers are located.Is there any way to fix this or at least tell Windows where to look for the driver automatically?BTW... I'm using Windows XP SP2 RC2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazin Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Am I the only one with a crappy Epson printer? I knew I should have gone HP...I had HP before and threw it out for no money because something called IC was corrupted.I bought EPSON Stylus Color 660, the never-idle printer! It's worked for more than five years so far. Plus, its ink is the cheapest nowadays.I have the software driver that works under XP, actually NT. I used WinDriver Ghost to gather the needed files. I put those files on my unattended XP CD, and it installed just fine.So, I suggest you check wether your driver is compatible with XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
