    Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this thread, but sure that someone will point me in the right direction if I'm wrong.

    I am looking for some advice as I have bought a new Epson R200 printer; loaded up the relevant drivers from cd but it keeps coming up with an INF. error, thought there might of been a fault on driver cd so I downloaded the drivers direct from Epson but still the same fault. I'm running Windows Home XP v.2. Any help would be much appreciated, this printer is connected via usb 2.

    have you uninstalled the old drivers before installing the new ones you downloaded? if not remove the current drivers and reinstall the new ones!

    Interesting. SP2 seems to be a hit or miss with compatibility. You might e-mail/report to Microsoft and Epson about it.
