    Epeon printer
    « on: February 11, 2011, 07:42:19 AM »
    Mt PC works ok with my Epson printer but my laptop will not recognise it. I have tried reinstalling the programme and changed USB ports.
    I have recently installed Norton. Could this be a solution?

    You've fail to mention what Operating Sytem your PC and Laptop is!

    and personally, i dont think installing Norton is a solution to anything!

        Vista drivers ? ?
        USB printers should remain dis-connected during install until prompted...
        Remove the printer in Device Manager...
        Use Add/Remove to uninstall the software...
        Power down and unplug the USB cable...
        Power up and try again.

        unless he meant that Norton caused the conflict.  ???


        and @patio, I had somoe usb devices automatically install drivers when I plugged them into my machine running vista (some needed the driver cd). Printers are no different?
