Epson 1200 & XP

Oct 8, 2004 5:30AM PDT

NEED ASSISTANCE: Here's the scenerio. Upgraded to XP from 2000. Using A Epson Stylus 1200 Photo printer. Searched the entire earth for the correct driver. Does not exist (so far). Hard drive to small to install another OS. Does anyone have the driver, or any suggestions? The printer is awesome so I don't want to replace it. Anyone.....

Sorry Bob. I tried Epson.com and Epson International, with no luck. The driver you found was for the Perfection 1200 scanner. I need the driver for the 1200 Stylus photo printer. I appreciate your help.

"A List of Printer Drivers That Are Included in Windows XP (Article 2 of 5)

Epson Stylus Photo 1200 ESC/P 2"

As such, you won't "find" a printer driver. Go native.

Thanx much for your help. Can you tell me what the "ESC/P 2" stands for. When I tried to print with this driver through 2000, it also failed to print. I will try again with XP.
