hello, im having trouble with my printer, its an Epson Stylus Color 440, and i have Windows ME, in the list for printing options to set my printer up, it doesnt have the style color 440, is there like anything close to the stylus 440 that will work, or is there anywhere i can download a printer driver for it since i dont have a disk for it or anything, thanks

Is this a USB or a parallel printer setup?

Hi deadmenrwalking! Welcome to G2G!

Try this link for the driver for your printer. I would suggest you use the Printer Driver v4.5CE since it is for Windows 95 and 98. There are no printer drivers that list it's made for windows ME, but 95 and 98 is the closest and should work. Give it a try, it can't hurt anything.

Thanks Keith, that confirms that the driver I found and pointed out he should try will work since on the page you linked to it shows the folder as called c:\ENGLISH\WINDOWS98.

what would make the printer print out nothing, it works but when printing it prints out nothing and the ink thats in it is new, i just went and bought that like 2 hours ago, thanks

Might be a dumb question but I've had it before. Did you take the protective cover tape off the bottom of the ink cartridges before inserting them?

and also, i dont use my USB port as a printer port, i use my printer port in the back

[deadmenrwalking]

there aint any protective tape on the bottom of it, iv always just put the ink in, push down the little lever and it puts alittle hole at the bottom of it, and it starts working

I really don't know printers that well so it's outta my league now. Hopefully someone else can chime in with a possible solution.

What I would suggest you do is follow any maintenance options it has for cleaning the printer heads, aligning the cartridges, etc... and see if that clears up the situation.

What I can suggest is follow the information on the follow links:

• Link #1
• Link #2
