Epson R300 CD
Hi all:
I just purchased this R300 and there was no CD with it. I'm very disappointed about not getting it with the printer. The guy I bought it from said he can't find it or whatever, and that I could download everything I needed from the Epson site. Well that is not exactly true. The software can not be downloaded & it was a bear going through all the driver files to get the thing set up! So I was wondering if anyone had this printer and would make me a copy of the cd? Please contact me if you are interested in helping me out. Thanks so much. L |

But here's something I don't understand; as you've never seen the CD, how do you know what's on it to know that you're missing something? I have an R800, and I've never used the CD to install it, or the software. Everything I've ever used I've downloaded from Epson's site. Here's the link (http://tinyurl.com/dcx43) to all the downloads for the R300. That's everything; trust me.

You can either call EPSON customer service and ask for them to send
you a driver CD or go back to where you purchased the printer and have them order a CD for you. The site referenced below is for Europe and they have different software than in other countries. Also I did not see the EPSON Print CD software anywhere on the site.

And this is our problem because . . .
So tell this "guy" you bought it from to come up with the CD or take 20% off what you paid for it. Of course you can't download software like Adobe Photoshop Elements, you have to buy it or use the version bundled with the printer. The drivers are, of course, freely available on the Epson website. So is the user manual. Like Miss P, I don't see a problem here. "LSP" wrote in message news:iKWae.17641$NU4.4342@attbi_s22... Hi all: I just purchased this R300 and there was no CD with it.

The European version of the R300 comes with PhotoQuicker software and
the American R300 comes with Film Factory software. Also, you cannot download Epson Print CD so you will not be able to print on CD's or DVD's. If the person who needs the R300 disk will repost with an email address, I will make arrangements to send an extra copy of the original Epson R300 driver disk to them.

If you live in the US you DO NOT GET THE PRINT CD SOFTWARE.
This is only available with European models, and hence why you can't download it. Mike "CSE" wrote in message ...
