Epson recently release a whole slew od Vista X64 and x86 compatiable printer
drivers (which include ink level notifications). I downloaded the Vista
drivers fromk my R800 just the other day. I see the R200 out there also.
I have no problem running the Print CD application on Vista x64. Installed
without a hitch and I've printed over 50 DVDs so far.
