Title: Epson R3000 Printer Driver Question
Post by: MelW on July 05, 2017, 12:17:53 AM
Is there someplace that I am missing that has the latest drivers for Epson printers.  No problem with my driver except that it does not seem to show all of the paper types that the Epson web site - and third party papers - seem to think it should have.  A number of profiles that I have downloaded - from Epson and others - have told me - for example - to set paper type to Hot Press Bright.  When I check the Epson site, it says I have the latest driver.  Any suggestions?  This driver was installed when I got R 3000 several years ago - at that time I was running Windows 7; now running Windows 10 but still have same driver.

You need to update to the W10 driver.

Thanks guys - yeah that's the driver I supposedly have - but does not include those paper types I mentioned.  I'll download it again from the Europe side that Fred listed - maybe that one will be different.  Not a critical issue of course - just that on some papers, I feel as if the printer is laying down too much ink - prints actually emerge wet.
