    In Vista you need to add the printer and make it default

    Click:-
    Start
    Control Panel
    Printers from the top area of the window click on:-
    Add a printer Starts the add a printer wizard

    Add a local Printer
    On the port option select next

    Select the printer manufacturer and model from the list or alternatively use the 'Have disk' dialogue to install the printer


    That should sort it

    Hi,

    Have you installed the printer using the install software?

    You could check the control panel, printers and see if the printer is showing up in there.

    If not try re-installing.

    First you need to check if you installed the drivers for the printers.
    You should have a CD which comes with it or you can find it on the manufacturers website. Once you installed the driver switch on the printer and print something. It should work because a USB device needs a driver to work. If it doesn't then the printer might be faulty.

    I would say that you are a sensible enough girl to have installed the drivers first.

    But pop into printers and check that your printer is set as the default. It should be ticked.

    If not highlight your printer ? File ? Select as Default.

    According to http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supAdvice.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&noteoid=86150&typ e=highlights


    If your product name is grayed out, a Windows Vista download is not yet available. When I moved my pointer over your brand on the site it was greyed out. If your printer came with an installation CD, put the CD in and go through the step by step process. If this still doesn't work, you might just need to take your printer back to the place where you bought it and ask for a refund. Then get a printer that says Windows Vista certified. This will ensure that your printer works with Vista.
