Drivers/Hardware :: How To Install Old Epson Perfection 1200 Scanner
Aug 24, 2015
I've been experimenting with Windows 10 using a VM (VirtualBox) before upgrading. One challenge has been to see if I could get my old 1999 Epson Perfection 1200 scanner working in Windows 10 since Epson do not provide any 64 bit drivers.
I discovered you can use the Epson 64 bit drivers for the Perfection 2400 and they work fine with the Perfection 1200. The Epson Scan program is fully functional for normal reflective scans and film scanning (if you have the attachment). The built in Windows scan program also works. This fix also works in Windows 8.
Here is how to do it:
Download and install the Perfection 2400U drivers from Epson USA, version 3.04A [URL] ....
Connect and turn on your scanner
Run Device Manager
The Perfection 1200U will be shown under under Other Devices
Select Update Driver
Choose 'Browse my computer for driver software"Choose 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'
UNCHECK the 'Show compatible hardware
'Click on 'Epson' in the Manufacturer box, and the scroll down through model until you find "Epson Perfection 2400', and choose that, and press Next
Ignore the 'Update Driver warning - choose 'Yes'; to continue to install.The Perfection 2400 will now be shown in Device Manager. Note that the Perfection 1200 will still be shown under Devices & Printers
Run Epson Scan and test the scanner. You may need to log out and log in again for program to work
i've updated to windows 10 on my pc and i'm unable to download the driver for my epson sx235w printer to my pc. i've tried the install disc and also via the drivers online. each time it starts to download the drivers it gets stuck on the download part with the spinning wheel for at least 30mins.
the printer was working perfectly on windows 8 via a usb cable, but since going to windows 10 the printer isnt recognised and the drivers wont install.
Since changing to W10 I am unable to install the above on my lap top, both worked fine on my old vista machine, little notice comes saying something like ..incompatable with the O.S, is there away to get around this ?
The printer, an Epson DX4400 is a few years old I know, but it is still very good and I dont really want to get rid of it.
My canon printer isn't supported by Windows 10. Troubleshooting it just tells me there is no drivers. It prints fine, but i cannot use the scanner. Is there any way i can get the scanner to work, more specifically in gIMP?
ever since I had a new hard drive installed on my Toshiba Satellite I cannot make a connection to my printer. I was on Epson Tech support for almost 3 hours, and they told me the printer is fine, and I am connected to it, but there is something blocking the print job from going to the printer.
I forgot to mention that when they installed the hard drive, they upgraded my wind. 7 to Wind. 10.
The Stylus Pro 7600 is now a really old printer, the last supported driver was for XP but it worked in Windows 7 and I believe to some extent in 8 although I never did try it.
It s a really good reliable large format printer though and very affordable in parts, ink and the second-hand purchase price.
However alas Windows 10 doesn't like it, I did the upgrade to 10 (and then the downgrade) from windows 7 but it will not see the driver it sees the device but calls it a USB high speed device or something like that and compatibility mode didn't seem to work.
So unless there is a clever work around and I'd love that to happen I'm stuck on Windows 7 for the duration.
I've repeatedly attempted this, but always get "An error occurred during setup. Restart your computer, then run setup again". This is an all too typical message you can find associated with many Epson products.
I've tried:
-Clean boot -Safe mode (install enabled) -Using an Epson removal tool I finally obtained after my 5th chat with Epson. -An Epson fix deleting temp folder and looking for setup.exe that never appeared. -Manually removing all Epson folders and registry entries I can find. -Disabling firewall and AV
The same CD installed ok on my 6 year-old laptop (both run Windows x64).
I've run SFC /Scannow - ok
At best, the scanner is recognised as being connected when plugged in, and appears with a yellow trangle under 'Other Devices' in Device Manager.
I have an HP Officejet 6700 All-In-One printer which is connected online, no USB. The unit has been printing and scanning up I until I upgraded to Windows 10. The printer still works but I can not scan. I tried doing the command prompt "SFC /scannow" but the system could not find any problems.
My Epson SX115 printer is not working today, it is the first time i have used it since installing Windows 10. I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling the printer but it makes no difference. I am having lots of problems with my laptop since installing Windows 10.
I have a home build desk top and upgraded to MS10 when it came out. Very few problems. Was printing ok and them all of a sudden when I try to print a photo from the computer I get a error code -20. I have googled error code -20 and mainly come up with companies wanting to sale their fix all software.
After installing windows 10 over a 64 bit version of Windows 8.1, my HP 3800 scanner status says driver not installed. I was unable to find the requisite driver within windows or on the net, even on the HP site. Question is will a previous windows 8.1 driver work?
New build. From a fresh install of windows 10 i try to install the drver for my IGPU Intel HD 530. each time i do that i get a BSOD with this message:
VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE igdkmd64.sys Or sometimes it's SYSTEM_THREAD_EXEPTION_NOT_HANDELED igdkmd64.sys
I've tried drivers from motherboard manufacturer CD, website and intel and some autodetect driver software. I always get the same behavior:
The screen start blinking several time ( black screen) before showing the BSOD then reboot and repeat it self. Even the driver downloaded by windows update have the same impact.
I've managed to install it in safe mode but when i restart in normal mode i get the same behavior. I've tried 2 different monitors, VGA and HDMI , tried with UEFI on/off => same result. I've tweaked once the tdr delay to 8 second, but didn't work.

I tried installing the network drivers for Windows 10 on my new PC and it says that "Cannot install drivers. No Intel Adapters are present in this computer" whenever I try to install it.
I recently purchased G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBXL for my computer. I ran a memory test with memtest86+ and my old memory had 175 errors, which is not good. So I purchased the new ram, but when I installed it in my computer, the system turns on but Windows 10 will not boot.
Does this mean that the RAM is bad? I know that it's compatible because I narrowed my search down on NewEgg to RAM that was compatible with my motherboard. The one thing that I did notice is that my motherboard's manual says that it's compatible with 2 sticks of DRAM and the RAM that I purchased is SDRAM.
When I connect my USB cord, the printer shows in the "Unspecified" devices, rather than the "Printers"I downloaded HP latest package from August 2015. I also tried my original CD. Both don't recognize my LJ-1020 as a printer and won't complete installation.
I also tried another cable and USB port. No difference.From Device Manager, I found my LJ-1020 under the "Other Devices", I also tried "Update Driver", it eventually HP 2012.918.1.57980, but then fails "Windows encountered a problem..."Of course I did all of this using Windows 7 and Administrator compatibility mode .
EDIT: I tried "Add a printer" and it eventually added my LJ-1020 in printers. But I am unable to print anything and when I turn on my printer, it also shows in the "Unspecified" devices.
I did a clean install on my PC with Windows 10 and now am going to download drivers from my mobo site. It is an asus maximus vi hero and there are only a couple of drivers on the site for windows 10. what should I do about all the other missing drivers?
I'm planning to go from windows 8 to windows 10 after getting my first build, and I'm curious if I need to update my drivers before getting windows 10 or not. I know you put in the OS disc before any driver discs that came with your hardware so I don't know if I can just do a clean install of windows 10 and then get my drivers or not.
as said above i own a windows 7 key and don't want to waste the time to get a 7 iso just to upgrade to windows 10 and i also will have a difficult time since i don't know how to install drivers onto windows 7 to get the internet for a z170 motherboard (it looked difficult) since windows 7 is legacy for the z170 chipset and it isint as simple as popping a disk in from what i saw(more of a glance).
