My printer wont work? help?

Help, my printer wont work anymore.?

  • i had windows98 and i had it hooked to my epson stylus440 printer, but i changed os to windowsxp, now the printer wont work. i tried the printer disk and it told me that the driver for this printer is not compatable with windowsxp. i also went to the epson website to find a driver that was compatable but found nothing, i even downloaded some of the epson drivers that said they were for windowxp but they were not because it still is'nt working. i then deleted all the drivers for epson and tried to reinstall by using the epson printer install disk and it said it was not compatable with windoesxp. what can i do(new to computers and going crazy here). any suggestions will be greatly apreciated. thank you so much-muriel

  • Answer:

    try using Printer Driver v3.0AE Windows NT 4.0 If that one doesnt work use this: Printer Driver v5.0AE Windows 2000 http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=14428&prodoid=9935&BV_UseBVCookie=yes&infoType=Downloads&platform=Windows&x=11&y=12

First see if you still have any ink left. Then make sure everything is still pluged in, also check to see if you still have paper if you still have a problem call the company where your printer came from.

Windows 98 uses the old file system FAT, XP uses the file system NTFS. Thats why your printer driver wont work. I doubt very much you will find a compatible driver anywhere. Why not buy a new printer, you can buy a Printer, Scanner, Photo-Copier all in one for under £50 today. Try Staples, Dixons, Argos etc, NOT PC World. Eamonn
