Hi Mikeyhsd,

The EPSON CX6600 Printer drivers for VISTA are NOT available on the Epson
site.
I wrote to EPSON support and they responded:
__________________________________________________ _______________
The CX6600 Epson drivers are pre installed on Vista if you continue to
experience issues installing the drivers you may have to contact Microsoft.

Windows Vista printer and scanner drivers are available for your product.
The printer software is available by using the Automatic Software Update
service built into Windows Vista verify that you have used the steps below.
The scanner software is available for download through Epson’s website.

PRINTER DRIVER DOWNLOAD

Please follow these steps to set up your Epson product and automatically
download the Windows Vista printer driver for it from Microsoft:

1. Connect the USB cable to your computer and then to your Epson product.

2. When the FOUND NEW HARDWARE window appears, select Locate and Install
Driver Software (Recommended).

3. Your Epson product drivers will install automatically. You may need to
select this option more than once during installation.

4. Close any open windows on your screen.

5. Try printing.

Any idea on what to do to perform the install?

Hi

i have a similar problem using Vista Ultimate x64. I have downloaded
the Scan driver and the easy print utility that Epson provide on their
site, and then plugged my printer in and let it install the driver from
the microsoft update feature.

epson do not provide the print driver, and windows cannot install the
driver itself

printer comes up as a USB 2.0 MFP device, instead of saying 'CX6600
found' like it did under vista x86.

anyone have a solution to this problem.

MFP would be an acronym for MultiFunction Printer. Does it actually print
using this driver?

doesnt print. it fails finding the driver, asks me to insert the disk
that come with it, which i do, but is totally pointless as the drivers
are made for 32 bit XP

It has 64bit xp driver available from Epson perhaps you could give it a
chance. (as looks like no 64bit Vista driver available for it)

well, in the past 30 mins, or how long it has since i last posted, i
found a new problem

i plug my external enclosure in, goes to install the sata usb bridge
(or whatever it is called) fails saying access denied.

does the same for my corsair survivor 8gb flash too

could all these problems be related??


oh, i will download the XP x64 driver and try that, cheers
