I have uninstalled the printer and re-installed the software and no go. It was working when I first installed the printer software, but then started showing errors that the cable was not connected.

I have searched and found help that says the drive is on the software, but it is not. I would be so grateful if anyone can help me with this problem. I really like my Epson printer and I don't want to have to buy a new one. Feb 12, , PM. You shouldn't have to install drivers that came with the printer, Vista already has drivers that will work with printer.

Not your question? I fixed it! There was a warning that there is a known incompatibility with windows Vista, but I followed through with the install and now I have listed under printers the original Vista Epson Stylus Photo R M and the new printer Epson Stylus Photo R Series.

I have been printing on CD's fine via Vista. Hey trodaway, what version is that disc? I assume it's an early one if it came with your R It's version 1. One last thing if you don't mind. Did you reinstall the printer completely or did you only install PrintCD this way? I only reinstalled the printer driver from the CD. Now when I look at my printers in Vista, there are two entries for my Epson printer. I have done some additional testing with the driver from the CD and I can't find any problems with it under Vista.

I just found out that I too was having problems with print cd. I kept giving an error and I had to close the dvd tray and then it would print on paper. I noticed that when I inserted the dvd tray and went to print that the program did not automatically switch to the right printing like it used to so I went in and changed print to dvd instead of paper that it had chosen for me and I also selected tray 2 then all worked just fine. Remove the prior print CD accessory software that Epson provided with the printer it is not needed.
