XP driver for Epson Stylus Photo 1200

[Stephen Mawson]

Hi,

Can anyone point me in the direction of an XP driver for the Epson Stylus
Photo 1200 which will allow full functionality of the utilities -- that is,
enable me to see on screen how much colour and black ink is left?
Epson's site suggests the use of the Win2000 driver, which allows printing
satisfactorily but does not support the utilities fully.

Many thanks,

Stephen

I'm sorry, but you're just going to have to manage without. Epson decided
not to update the status monitor for that printer - nothing you, I, or
anyone else can do about it.

Many thanks for this reply, even if it is bad news! I had half hoped there
might be a shareware one somewhere.

Don't think Epson would allow that!

What you need is the Status Monitor v2.5bE (12MB) available on the Epson
site. Just look up the drivers for your 1200 and it is the first one listed.
Works on my Photo 700 with the Win 2000 driver for printing.
