| | Firewire and Vista I have just been informed by Epson that Vista does not support Firewire after trying to connect my R1800. It picks upo the port etc but can't install the printer on that port. Is this correct about firewire. |

| | RE: Firewire and Vista Jack, Vista supports Firewire. If you have Firewire on your computer, you can check this fact in your Device Manager. The fact that Vista picks up something when you plug the printer into the Firewire port shows that support is there. Your problem likely is that the drivers for your printer aren't Vista compatible. Epson needs to supply the drivers, if not available natively in Vista. That's likely what Epson was indicating when they said that Vista doesn't support Firewire (for their printer). If Epson and Microsoft have no drivers for your printer, then you likely have to buy a printer that is compatible with Vista. -- freddy "Jack" wrote: > I have just been informed by Epson that Vista does not support Firewire > after trying to connect my R1800.
