| Epson RX580 and Vista Microsoft indicates that the RX580 is certified for Vista, however the drivers, supplied by Epson will not install. Neither the printer nor the scanner show up in device manager, but the printer works. Why won't the scanner work? Slombardy |

| Re: Epson RX580 and Vista Printers don't usually show up in the Device Manager. What happens when you try to install the driver package from Epson? Can you please give us a summary of what you have done so far and if you upgraded or did a clean install of Vista (and which version of Vista it is).

| Re: Epson RX580 and Vista I hope I have not tried everything. The computer is a new Dell XPS, running Home Premium version OEM Vista 32bit. I have tried to install drivers every way I could think of, and was on the phone for two hours with Epson and they could not get it working. Same with Dell. Install seems to go along but at the end it says unable to install driver, file not found. I know exactly where the file is, but no luck on install. I hope you can get my RX580 printer, copier, scanner working. The printer is fine, but it will not scan.

I had to go to Epson's site for Vista drivers even though the box said Certified for Vista it turned out it was a sticker they had put on. The CD did not have Vista scanner drivers. The website does.

| Re: Epson RX580 and Vista Thanks Art: I have been there many times. Supposedly correct driver, but will not install and computer does not see the scanner. Just a question, did you install Vista or buy a machine with it already installed. By the way my scanner works on my XP machine. thanks again for the response, Steve L "Art" wrote: > > "Slombardy" <Slombardy@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:B417C2DC-238B-4248-8AED-1798C27E8568@microsoft.com... > > Microsoft indicates that the RX580 is certified for Vista, however the > > drivers, supplied by Epson will not install.
