I have this printer from some years and I'm happy with it. Now the problem
is with Win Vista. There is not a specific drive for this Printer under
Vista.
The printer print ok, no problem for this, the problem is the Printer
Monitor that can not see the inks status. So I can not know if a cartridge
is out of ink.
Tried to contact Espon for new driver but no chance.
Any Idea?
TIA

It appears your printer driver is included in Vista, which is probably
what you are using. If you need the ink monitor, you might try
installing the XP one using compatibility mode.

I routinely disable the status monitor because it can cause problems with
networked printers and other printer status monitors.

In any event, you should get either a printing error or incorrect output
colors when the ink is very low.
Beyond that, the R200 is slow and of just average printing quality when
compared with the "latest and greatest".

In desperation, I ended up replacing a slow Brother 420CN all in one with an
Epson WF 600. The Epson 600 out of the box is much faster than my R300, and
produces good to very good quality results. In fact, the yellow/green
transition is seemingly more accurate on the WF 600. Epson sort of lied
about "built in double sided" printing, in that there is no duplexer on this
model.

It's gotten so that printers are inexpensive, and the hassle involved with
getting an older slower printer to work may not be worth the effort.
This happened to me with older epson dot matrix printers some years ago,
then with couple of cannon printers, a panasonic laser, and finally a
brother all in one. My epson R300 is starting to show it's age. Funny
enough, I have a cannon S750 that ""knock on wood" has turned out to be an
inexpensive to operate, long lived printer. So far it's outlasted two newer
printers, a brother and several older printners. It may even outlast the
R300, which was originally bought to replace the S750.

There are software available which show the status of ink in your
printer.So download it and use it.It is the easiest way.
