Vista - epson cx7800 printer driver install problem

I have seen that other people have been able to get some of their epson
printers to work, all I really need mine for right now is text. It is
connected via usb cable. When I run the "addd printer" program provided in
Vista it asks for the port that the printer is plugged into. I cannot seem
to find the correct port. Can anyone help me with that problem, or help to
find a driver that would get this printer working, thank you.

I just installed my CX7800 using 64 bit epson driver. The problem I had was
the installation program didn't detect my printer. The window open while
detecting has a "manual" choice. I used that then told it to use the virtual
usb printer port. Works fine now for printing. The scanner driver doesn't
seem to work.....ugg
