Has anyone been able to get their Epson R1800 to run on a PC running Windows 7?

I have spent a lot of frustrating time trying and have talked to Epson support and downloaded drivers supposed to be compatable with Windows 7.

Am I waisting my time?

We have 3 of them at work running quite happily under Windows 7 64bit using driver version 6.5cAs.

That is the version I downloaded from Epson. There must be another problem.

Hank did it install without a hitch? What port are you using for your printer?

I have a laptop running Windows 7 64 bit and a desktop running the 32 bit verson. I would like to put on the desktop as I have 2 monitors on that machine.

I didn't set them up personally, just the GMG Color RIP that uses them. They are connected to an ethernet print server via their USB connection.

I have one running with no issues. I installed the drivers and then plugged the printer into the computer and let it plug and play.

I also haven't had any problems with my R1800 and the two windows 7 pc's I hooked it up to. Just downloaded and installed the drivers/epson software.

I just figured it out! My printer was connected to the PC with a FireWire IEEE 1394.3 but Windows 7 dosent support FireWire. Just used a USB A/B cable and now it works.:D
