I purchased a Epson WorkForce




By nez4u2 on Oct 20, 2009

" "
I purchased a Epson WorkForce 600 multifunction wireless printer and installed it just fine onto my desktop computer through a wireless router. My desktop using Windows XP Professional. When I followed the instruction of the manual to set it up on my wireless laptop that has Windows Vista Premium 32 bit, I cannot get it to install. The very first screen starts out with installing Epson Scan software or drivers and about 40% into the install, I get an error message saying that it cannot copy files. Then I cannot go any further. What can I do to add my wireless printer to my laptop. I chose the "add another computer to the network" button as the manual said to do. Please help. Thank you

- When I installed the software on my desk top through a wireless router, the manual said to go to Network Settings, choose Wireless Lan Setup, and select Disable. This allowed the printer to install on my desktop and later during the installation it prompted me to remove the ethernet cable for wireless. With that done, I had no problems setting the printer up on my host computer. But to setup the printer on my wireless laptop, the manual says to run the software without using the ethernet cable. But the software gives me error message at the very first installation which is Epson Scan setup. I don't know what to do. Please help.

Epson WorkForce 600 multifunction wireless printer is not compatible with vista operating system.so the files of the printer are not getting loaded in the laptop.it will not support.it will support xp and windows 200 .also it will do the same problem while loading on windows 98.you printer is of old version.and the vista is of new version.if you set up xp operating system in your laptop it will get installed.
-----------
there are many users facing this problem.it can only be solved when company launches a compatible software for the printers to work with vista.but that software is still not launched.

This will help. Thanks please keep updated.please do rate the solution positively .thank you for using fixya
