Need help with printer and scanner?

Hi

Just bought a new computer running Windows 7 64 bit.

There doesn't seem to be any drivers for my Epson C88+ printer or my Epson Perfection 1650 scanner.

I'm not sure what to do, I don't want to buy a new printer the one I have is almost new,
(I haven't even replace the ink yet) and my scanner is in good condition.

I looked at Epson's web site and they really don't seem to sell anything that supports 64 Bit operating systems, I would have though that they would have gotten with it by now.

Anyone have any suggestions.

If I am going to have to replace both of them who makes products that do support W7 64?

I have already had to order a new copy of Adobe InDesign because my CS2 version won't run on Windows 7 64, Adobe confirmed that. It's been a long day!

Any help appreciated...

Mike

The only solution is to install an other operating system or waiting for your printer manufacturer to make driver that supports 64bit operating systems.

Are you quite sure they don't work with Win 7 64bit?

I have an Epson Perfection 1670 scanner and Epson R220 printer which both work prefectly with my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit operating system (I've had both peripherals for at least 4 years)

Windows 7 compatibility website says your printer is compatible. Needs downloadable drivers
