Operating System; Printer Software Installation - Epson Stylus Photo 1290 User Manual

For best results, you should connect the printer directly to the
computer's USB port. If you must use multiple USB hubs, we
recommend that you connect the printer to the first tier hub.

Operating System

Your computer must be a Windows 98 or Windows 2000 pre-
installed model. You may not be able to install or run the USB
Printer Driver on a computer which is not equipped with a USB
port or which has been upgraded from Windows 95 to
Windows 98 or 2000. For Windows Me users, your computer
must be a Windows Me pre-install model or upgraded from
Windows 98 pre-installed model.
For details about your computer, contact your dealer.

Printer software installation

Please take notice about the following.
When using Windows 2000, you must follow the steps in the
Quick Start Manual to install the printer software; otherwise,
Microsoft's Universal driver may be installed instead. To
check if the Universal driver has been installed, open the
Printers folder and right-click the icon for your printer. To
open the printer driver, click Printing Preferences on the
shortcut menu that appears, then right-click anywhere in the
driver. If About is displayed in the shortcut menu that
appears, click it. A message box with the words "Unidrv
Printer Driver" appears. You must reinstall the printer
software as described in the Quick Start Manual. If About is
not displayed, the printer software has been installed
correctly.
