Computer recognizes printer BUT
« on: January 22, 2008, 05:09:59 PM »
I have a new computer and printer.  Everything has hooked up fine except for the printer.  It recognizes that the printer is there but keeps asking for a driver.  I have reinstalled the printer software and used a different USB.  It is a E-machine desktop and Epson printer.  Thanks for any help you can give me.

Try going to Control Panel /Printers and right clik the printer and select "remove" or uninstall...
Then in Control Panel also go to add/remove and remove the Epson software program...
Then shut down the machine.
Un-hook the printer from the USB port.
Power up and re-install the printer software and it will tell you when to connect the printer...

See how this works for you. If no go Post back.
