Epson Scan Driver

nikki02_2

Scoured the internet for what seems like ages but I can't find a driver which allows my Epson DX4050 scanner to work with Windows 7. Printing drivers are all up to date, but the scan function won't work.

Any ideas?

TIA

Epson say to use the Vista driver

See the tables below for the latest Windows 7 driver information for Epson printers, scanners and All-In-Ones.
If your product is not listed, where available please download and install the Windows Vista driver from the Epson website

Not sure whether you want 32 or 64 bit but both are avialable on the epson support site eg 64 bit

On word of warning on using Vista drivers - we did this where there wasn't a 7 driver - it worked - but subsequent random freezes was tracked down to the Epson Vista driver!

Thanks so much Santer and robmar0se.

Santar, I tried that driver initially and it didn't solve the problem. What do you know, tried it again using your link and it worked first time!

Thanks again.
