The driver works perfectly for Vista and Windows 7 64 bit. Unfortunately, Megaupload, the site that saves the files is out of business. I have kept a copy of driver since 4 years. Still interestd, forward your email so that I can send it to you.

Here is another solution
This works for me with Vista x64, Windows 7 x64, and Windows 8 x64.
I am copying from the above mentioned site. Make sure to follow the steps very carefully.

What did work was installiong the x64 driver from Epron for their Epson Expression 1680 Professional scanner instead. I had to force the Device Manager to install and use .inf file for the 1680.

Here's how:

Download and run the Epron file. Epson Expression 1680 Professional
It will extract to here:
C:\EPSON\epson12203_twain_driver_and_epson_scan_utility_304a

Then cancel the install process.
Open Device Manager.
Right click the scanner (will have yellow "!")
click update driver, click click :Browse my comp", click "let me pick from list..." , click have disk, then browse to here:
C:\EPSON\epson12203_twain_driver_and_epson_scan_utility_304a
pick any inf, and it should go from there.

This will install only the driver. If you need a free scanner software, here is a good one.

Remember after installing the software you need to run it as admin. for the very first time. It is bilingual.

Hi Sarand.
I have a similar problem not being able to install my perfectly good Epson ip1660 on my windows7 64 bit system. If you still have the unoficial driver then I would be extremely grateful if you could email it to me - peter@ukhot.com
Many thanks.
