Epson T60 Driver For Windows 7 64-bit

[Florian Peitz]

Thisarticle may be useful if you can't obtain a Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) signed printer driver from the printer manufacturer or from the Microsoft Windows Update Web site. It also provides methods to find a printer driver for a printer that isn't supported on your computer that's running a 64-bit version of Windows.

To print from a computer that's running a 64-bit version of Windows, you must have a 64-bit printer driver. You can't use a 32-bit printer driver on a computer that's running a 64-bit version of Windows.

We recommend that you first visit the Windows Vista Compatibility Center to find links to the latest 64-bit printer drivers. Its database contains thousands of the most popular printers and you can easily search by product name, number, or brand.

To search for a WHQL signed driver on the Microsoft Windows Update Web site, select Start > Windows Update, and then follow the instructions on the Windows Update Web site.

Drivers that aren't WHQL signed are also known as unsigned drivers. Drivers that are WHQL signed are also known as signed drivers. Search any one of the following locations for a non-WHQL signed driver for your printer:

The printer emulation type and the physical features of the printer are important printer property values. The physical features of the printer are things such as duplex mode and the number of paper trays. Printer emulation is the most important of these two printer property values.

Printer emulation describes the type of encoding that Windows uses to transmit the page data to the printer. Printer emulations are sometimes referred to as printing languages. A computer that's running a 64-bit version of Windows must transmit the page data in a language or emulation that the printer understands. If the computer that's running a 64-bit version of Windows doesn't use the correct emulation, print jobs aren't decipherable.

Some printer manufacturers may interpret different printer emulations in different ways. If you use a printer driver from the same printer manufacturer that supports your printer emulation, you can possibly prevent some compatibility problems. For example, if your printer supports PostScript level 3 as its default printer emulation, look up the list of printer drivers that are supplied with the 64-bit version of Windows. You can do it to find another printer from the same printer manufacturer that uses the same printer emulation. Here are the steps.

When you use the following method, the print job is printed locally and the print job is then redirected to the network path. If you use this procedure, you don't receive printer updates from the print server when you update the printer driver on the print server.

On the computer that's running a 64-bit version of Windows, check if the correct printer drivers are located. You can also visit the Windows Update Web site or the printer manufacturer's Web site. If you can't find the correct driver, continue to the next step.

On the physical printer, use the device menus to print a configuration page. The printed configuration page typically lists the supported printer emulations. For example, the configuration page might list PostScript, PCLXL, or PCL as supported printer emulations.

In the Install Printer Software page, select the correct manufacturer under the Manufacturer column. Then select the name of a printer that supports the same printer emulation as your printer. Select Next > Finish. For example, you have an HP LaserJet printer that supports PostScript emulation. Try to locate another HP LaserJet printer model that has a similar model number and supports PostScript emulation.

For laser printers in the US and Europe, almost 80% of network laser printers use either PostScript or PCL as their main language. Of this 80%, PCL5 is the most common PCL type that's used and PostScript level 2 is the most common PostScript type.

Some personal laser printers are less standard. Typically, PostScript level 3 is a superset of PostScript level 2. So if you have a printer that understands PostScript level 3, and a driver that uses PostScript level 2, the printed test may be decipherable. Similarly, PCL6/XL is based on PCL5e, and PCL5e is based on PCL5.

If you select a similar printer in the Add Printer Wizard on a computer running 64-bit Windows, consider the physical features of the printer. For example, if you require duplex printing on your documents, the compatible driver that you choose must also support duplex printing.

Other issues to consider include the availability of paper input and output trays, and the default orientation of the paper input. For example, printer drivers offer different methods to select duplex printing. If you choose a printer driver from the same manufacturer as your printer, you can increase the chance that duplex is implemented in the same way across the whole range of devices. Besides, if you pick a printer model that has a similar model series number, you can increase the chance that the printer driver is compatible.

If you select a compatible printer, you may experience compatibility issues. For example, you want to print to a monochrome laser printer. In this situation, you must find a printer driver that uses the same printer emulation. The same printer emulation typically ensures that the document prints legibly. But you may not have the required duplex feature available.

If you print to a color laser printer, and you install a compatible printer driver that uses the same printer emulation, you can print decipherable documents. However, subtle differences in text color may not be preserved. It means that documents such as photographs may not print with a high image quality.

It may be difficult to match an inkjet printer with a compatible printer driver. The rules that apply to other classes of printers don't always apply to inkjet printers, because there are many different types of inkjet printers on the market.

Your hardware manufacturer provides technical support and assistance for x64-based versions of Windows. Your hardware manufacturer provides support because an x64-based version of Windows was included with your hardware. Your hardware manufacturer might have customized the installation of Windows with unique components. Unique components might include specific device drivers or might include optional settings to maximize the performance of the hardware. Microsoft will provide reasonable-effort assistance if you need technical help with your x64-based version of Windows. However, you might have to contact your manufacturer directly. Your manufacturer is best qualified to support the software that your manufacturer installed on the hardware.

I have tried from the CD that came with the product and also using the driver package downloaded from the ESPON site. I get the same error each time. The installation proceeds until the step where is says Searching For Drivers on Windows Update. This runs for a while and then fails to find the drivers. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.

Knowing if your version of Windows is 32-bit or 64-bit is very important when installing software and choosing drivers for hardware. Here's how to check if Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, etc. is 64-bit or 32-bit.

This guide is to show you how to use have-disk method to install your drivers step by step on Windows 7 / Vista. If you are looking for the way to install on Windows XP please read this topic instead. Basic Information Have disk method is a way to...

This document contains the hardware compatibility notes forFreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE on the AMD64 hardware platform (also referredto as FreeBSD/amd64 6.1-RELEASE). It lists devices known to work onthis platform, as well as some notes on boot-time kernelcustomization that may be useful when attempting to configuresupport for new devices.

Note that there are two names for this architecture, AMD64 (AMD)and Intel EM64T (Extended Memory 64-bit Technology). 64-bit mode ofthe two architectures are almost compatible with each other, andFreeBSD/amd64 should support them both.

In many respects, FreeBSD/amd64 is similar to FreeBSD/i386, interms of drivers supported. There may be some issues with 64-bitcleanliness in some (particularly older) drivers. Generally,drivers that already function correctly on other 64-bit platformsshould work.

FreeBSD/amd64 is a very young platform on FreeBSD. While thecore FreeBSD kernel and base system components are generally fairlyrobust, there are likely to still be rough edges, particularly withthird party packages.

This section describes the devices currently known to besupported by with FreeBSD on the AMD64 platform. Otherconfigurations may also work, but simply have not been tested yet.Feedback, updates, and corrections to this list are encouraged.

Where possible, the drivers applicable to each device or classof devices is listed. If the driver in question has a manual pagein the FreeBSD base distribution (most should), it is referencedhere. Information on specific models of supported devices,controllers, etc. can be found in the manual pages.

Note: The device lists in this document are beinggenerated automatically from FreeBSD manual pages. This means thatsome devices, which are supported by multiple drivers, may appearmultiple times.

All major firmware revisions (2.x, 3.x, 4.x and 5.x) aresupported, however it is always advisable to upgrade to the mostrecent firmware available for the controller. Compatible Mylexcontrollers not listed should work, but have not been verified.

With all supported SCSI controllers, full support is providedfor SCSI-I, SCSI-II, and SCSI-III peripherals, including harddisks, optical disks, tape drives (including DAT, 8mm Exabyte,Mammoth, and DLT), medium changers, processor target devices andCD-ROM drives. WORM devices that support CD-ROM commands aresupported for read-only access by the CD-ROM drivers (such ascd(4)). WORM/CD-R/CD-RW writingsupport is provided by cdrecord(1), which is a part ofthe sysutils/cdrtools port in the PortsCollection.
