How to Download Drivers and Software From The Epson Website

Mar 16, 2011 04:11 PM

Many printer drivers, utilities and applications are available to download free of charge from the support pages of the Epson UK website. This article explains how to navigate the Epson website to locate and download them for your product.

Steps

If you are intending to install an Epson product, start with the product powered off and disconnected from your computer.

Open the Epson UK support homepage by clicking on the following link: http://www.epson.co.uk/support.  Alternatively, go to www.epson.co.uk and click on SUPPORT.

Under Find Support for any Product, enter the name of your Epson product.  You can enter this in full or just use the unique part of the model name, e.g. SX415.

As you type, the webpage will suggest one or more product matches. Click on the correct product from the list of alternatives.

The Drivers & Support page will open. The webpage will automatically recognise your operating system, e.g. Windows 7 32-bit:

Example: the Epson Stylus SX415 and Windows 7 32-bit.

If the operating system shown is not correct, or you wish to find or download software for a different operating system, click on the drop-down menu and select the one you require.

If you're not sure exactly which version you have, see one of the following Related Articles for help or refer to your computer's documentation:

Drivers & Software

The examples and images in this article depict Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 8 as the Internet browser.

  • Some of the options available to you will vary if you use a different operating system (e.g. Mac OS X), or a different browser like Firefox or Safari.
  • File names will vary, as they are different for each product model. File types may also vary for different products and operating systems.

If the Drivers & Software option is not listed, then there is no software available to download for the product and operating system combination you have selected.

Ensure that you have selected the correct options. You can select a different operating system from the menu or go back to the Support homepage to select a different product.

Check how your product is supported. For example, there may be an inbox (bundled) driver available for your product and a download is therefore not provided, or for some older products the recommendation may be to use a compatible driver for a previous operating system instead (e.g. Windows Vista in place of Windows 7). To check this see the relevant Related Article below:

All Epson software is checked for viruses and potential errors. As such any files downloaded from the Epson site should be regarded as coming from a trusted source.

If you receive a warning advising that the publisher could not be verified, confirm that the name of the file in the warning is the Epson file you downloaded, then continue with the installation.
