    If you mean the software is in a foreign language then simply download the English version of the drivers from Epson's website. Also capitalising the first letter of every single word you type makes your post very unreadable.

    I think that you should go to the Epson website and download the Status Monitor v3 and the Driver v5.4
    Download them onto your desktop. They are both executable files. When you double-click on them they will unzip.

    Then uninstall your printer.
    Then re-install it.
    When it asks for a driver disc just select the driver file that you have unzipped instead of a disc.

    If that doesn't work then ask again.

    This is the link to the Epson page for your printer :- http://esupport.epson-europe.com/GettingStarted.aspx?lng=en-GB&data=02A0FE90E18EB07436693BEB518B1B9637178F865A9AA8DD31848668AFA84B98

    By the way, which foreign language are the instructions in?
