Updating the printer software in Windows Me, XP, 2000, or NT 4.0

When you update the printer software in Windows Me, XP, 2000, and NT 4.0, be sure to uninstall the previous printer software before you install the new software. Installing over the existing printer software results in a failure to update. See Uninstalling the printer driver for details on uninstalling the printer software.

Uninstalling the printer driver

For Windows

Note:

To uninstall applications in Windows 2000, it is necessary to log on as a user with administrative privileges
(a user who belongs to the Administrators group.)

To uninstall applications in Windows XP, it is necessary to log on with a Computer Administrator account. You cannot uninstall applications if you log on as a Limited account user.

Turn off the printer and disconnect the cable from the printer.

For users of Windows Me, 98, 95, 2000, and NT 4.0, click the Start button, select Settings, and then choose Control Panel.
For users of Windows XP, click the Start button, and then choose Control Panel.

Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon and select EPSON Printer Software from the list. Then, click Add/Remove (or Change/Remove in Windows XP and 2000).

Select the EPSON Stylus C82 Series icon and click OK.

Click OK.

Note:

If you are using the USB port to connect the printer in Windows Me or 98, you need to uninstall an additional USB component. Select EPSON USB Printer Device from the list in the Add/Remove Programs utility, click Add/Remove, and then click OK when a message prompts you to restart the computer. If EPSON USB Printer Device does not appear in the Add/Remove Programs list, double-click EPUSBUN.EXE on the printer software CD-ROM, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

For Macintosh

Note:

You cannot uninstall the printer driver under Mac OS X.

Turn on your Macintosh and insert the software CD in the CD-ROM drive. The EPSON printer software disk will open automatically.

If separate folders containing installer icons for several languages appear, double-click the folder for your preferred language, and then double-click the Installer icon in the Disk 1 folder inside the Disk Package folder.

After the initial screen, click Continue. The following dialog box appears.
