Windows 7 &amp; Epson Action Laser 1500: Anyone have a solution?

Sammy, I was able to get a friend's HP with Win 7 to run her Epson using the following websites: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistahardware/thread/c016f92c-d28b-42aa-a026-04f02952e917 http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7hardware/thread/177e851a-334b-4a14-8d08-567a41b06b8a Her printer had been updated with a parallel to usb adapter. I typed the "printui /s /t2" in the "run" window....found under Programs and then Accessories. Click "Add" and start the add printer driver wizard. Select "HP" in the left pane and then "HP Laserjet III" in the right pane. When the wizard is finished, "HP Laserjet III" should appear in the printers folder. Type "printui /ip" at the "run" prompt. (I am reconstructing these directions from memory so I hope I remember them correctly". Choose "add a new printer to existing port"...I used usb. Then choose "use an existing driver on this computer" and select the HP Laserjet III. Try printing a test page. Good luck! I hope this info helps you. Please post your success. Joyce

I'm sorry I can't help. I use Windows 7. I can say this is one awesome all-in-one printer. I love it.

Now this is obsolete and only usb (not network and not wifi). I recomend EPSON WF series. Cheers.

When I was using the Epson 610, I didn't have that problem, Sorry, I can not help you with this one. I cured the other problems I was have with Epson, by switching to a Kodak ESP2170 printer.

You can download the Driver utility bundle from Epson's website and install from there. No CD/DVD or USB Drive needed.

Yes. Extra drivers and utilities are available from the EPSON site. I haven't tested every feature, but there is no reason to believe they wouldn't work as it is listed as fully supported.

I don't know. I use windows. I would hope that the Epson link would give you an answer.

Uninstall the drivers then reinstall the drivers. That should do it. If you can't find your CDS just go to the Epson website and get them there. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I out off updating my windows. But u might try downlink software from canon again. I had to do that once when I had another update. Sorry I couldn't help.

Ahhh....I think you're screwed. May be time for another printer, and I would get away from Kodak if so. Just replaced mine with an Epson, and like it a lot better.

I finally called a copier repair person for this problem. He had a easy, but counterintuitive, solution. Clean the paper feed roller with WD40. He explained why it worked (which I don't remember), but it certainly did work. Wipe off any excess of course.

I have a Dell with Windows 7. I plugged the Printer into my Computer and it only "partially" loaded the Driver. So I initially couldn't use Windows 7 Print/Scan software as plug and play. You simply load in the provided Canon CD (I installed everything and later on uninstalled programs I didn't want) Now everything works great including Windows 7 Print/Scan software too.

The Microsoft site states that the Epson V500 is Windows 7 (64) compatible.http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

I use Windows 7, but Epson continually updates it's drivers so it should work with WINDOWS 8.
