Usually when you plug a printer into XP because of plug and play it automatically installs no matter what printer it is. I have Vista RC2 and when I plugged my Lexmark all in one into Vista it immediately installed the default windows drivers and added it to the printers panel in control panel. Instead of you searching for the priner on Vista try and just plug it in and a popup in the taskbar should come up saying installing device driver software. What version of Vista are you running?

Strange because Epson R200 driver/contol panel are all within Vista.

When I installed vista (several betas, RC1, 5728 build and RC2) Vista has loaded my printer everytime without any imput from me.
