You can try downloading just the driver of the printer and then install it on your computer.
You may also borrow an external dvd drive so you can use the cd that came with the printer.
Or if you have another computer with cd rom drive, you can insert the cd there, copy the installation files to a usb flash drive and then run the setup.exe in the computer with no cd rom drive so you can install the printer.
If you are install the printer using the CD, try not to plug in the usb cable in the begning/ the driver software will ask you to connect the usb cable so try to connect it at that time.
try to use other computer that has cd room then insert your cd installer in you printer and copy the contents into your usb. Then use your usb to install that software by using usb drives.
go to epsons website, download the driver to print ie the pcl 5 or 6 driver and you may have to extract it or it will be a setup file you can run and add the printer and then connect the usb cable for the printer either when it prompts you or after you have installed the driver.
To do this go to printers and faxes --> add a printer and go from there if the setup file does not work.
If the technician who changed your hard drive was able to transfer ("clone") the system from your old drive, all you need to do is plug your printer/scanner in and it should work. If he was not able to do this and you have a new Windows installation, you need to use the CD that came with the printer to re-install it. Just connect up the printer to the computer BUT DO NOT TURN THE PRINTER ON UNTIL TOLD TO. Start the computer and when Windows has loaded, put the CD in the CD drive. The CD should start the installation process - just follow the instructions. If you do not have a CD, download the necessary installation software from the Epson website.If you don't know how to do this, report back and I will provide more help.
If you are using windows vista. Its plug and play ready of course if the printer is directly connected via usb. Just let it automatically detect your printer. If you are using windows xp or running on a mac computer then you will need to download the driver from the epson website. support.epson.com
