Title: Epson R800 Printer on Win 10--Need Driver
Post by: vdr on December 09, 2023, 09:24:03 PM
Using a new computer that came with Win 10 installed. I have a New (Old Stock) Epson R800 Printer that I have saved for later usage and need to install on Win 10.  Have not found an Epson Driver.   Is there any other option that would allow installing the printer?

As far as I can tell, the driver they have on their website works:

https://epson.com/Support/Printers/Single-Function-Inkjet-Printers/Epson-Stylus-Series/Epson-Stylus-Photo-R800/s/SPT_C11C550011?review-filter=Windows+10+64-bit

It installs and the driver appears to work.  I don't have the printer to verify that it actually prints but I wouldn't think there would be any issue.

Regards,
Mike

Mike, thank you for your reply.
I had selected and installed the correct Printer Driver.
The problem was my mistake.
I had selected the wrong Printer Profile.
I had selected spr1800 (profile) instead of spr800 (profile).
I am concerned it may be due to my OLD eyes.
