E[spn Stylus Photo 870 driver for Windows 7

[stephenberger]

Hello,
My wife has a new Windows 7 laptop which we want to connect to our old Epson Stylus Photo 870 printer. How do we get a driver which will make this work?

Thank you!

There are no Windows 7 (or Vista 64bit) drivers published by Epson.

You could try what seemed to work for this other Stylus Photo 870 owner.

Hello stephenberger,

It is always best to check with the software manufacturer FIRST. They will tell you if they have tested the product and the version, as well as whether or not it will work with Windows 7.
Check out the Windows 7 Compatibility site: (There you will find out about hardware and software compatibilty.)
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/en-us/default.aspx
There is a pulldown from which you can choose "hardware" and "software".
There are also some great articles, instructional videos and such to help with your Windows 7 at our Springboard site:

In any event a lot of the times, Vista drivers will work in lieu of Windows 7 drivers, however, it's not 100%!
As stated previously, it's best to have the Windows 7 certified drivers installed.
Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located here http://tinyurl.com/9fhdl5 . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You may want to check the threads available there for additional assitance and support.
