<p>On my Win7-64bit computer, create XP partition to run Epson 9600 printer?<br> <br> I have spent days trying to get a Win7-64bit computer to work with an Epson 9600 printer I obtained some time back. Nozzle check from the unit itself is good but I can't get my laptop to communicate with the printer. I have looked through all the forums, spoke to Epson tech and, as some have recommended, I downloaded the Vista 64-bit driver, etc. The Epson tech guy said that best bet would be to find a Vista or XP computer because both operating systems have the driver for the Epson 9600 printer.</p> <p>I'm exhausted by it all. I have located my XP disks. Do you think I could partition my computer and load the XP OS onto a partition to use just for printing on the 9600? I could eventually get a used computer to dedicate to the purpose but don't have one at the moment and, if I don't have to spend the money for one, so much the better.</p> <p>I've never done partitioning before but it seems it could possibly work. Any advice you can give would be so very appreciated. (I bought a 44" roll of canvas before making sure I'd ever get to use it. D-uh!)</p> <p>Thanks in advance,<br> D. Saunders</p>
