How do I install a driver?

Mac-mini Mac OS X (10.4.7)
I have joined my Mac-mini to a Windows workgroup. The printer for the workgroup is Epson Photo Stylus R320. The Mac Printer setup utility found the printer and I went thru the steps of selecting the printer driver. R320 is not included in the list so I selected R300. Nothing would print.
Then I went to Epson site and found 2 pieces of software for the R320 on Mac. The one with the driver had this spec: Intel-based Macs with OS X (v10.4.4 or later). The Easy print just said Mac OS X v10.2-10.4
I downloaded and opened/"installed" these. Got a set of Epson pages and acceptance that made me feel like it was being installed.
I attempted to print a test document from the text editor.
The printer activity "wiggle" bar became active. It got to 10% and then died. Nothing printed.
I went back to the printer untility and found that the R320 WAS NOT in the list. How do I get it into the list so it can be accessed?
Mac-mini Mac OS X (10.4.7) Epson Stulus Ohoto R320

If the printer is connected to the USB port of a Windows PC, then you won't be able to use the Epson driver. You will need a compatible Gutenprint (GIMP) driver [have a look at numerous articles in this forum that Greg Sahli has replied to learn more about the reason].
But if the printer is shared via some sort of USB printer hub, then you may just have to manually set the driver rather than letting the Mac autodetect it. After selecting the printer in the browser list, click on More Printers and select Epson USB. [Thnx Matt Broughton for this info in another post:-)]
Now you should be able to find your R320 driver if the previous installations were successful. And you will want the Intel drivers if your mini is a new Intel model.

Paul

    Thanks!
    your post title and the message within seem to contradict themselves.
    More information from you might be helpful as in  what packages did you install during the installation process? Did you have network connection during the install? Are there any errors that you get when booting.

    Not at all sure what you are wanting to do - what type of Mac? Which OS version? Are you physically trying to install another drive?
    Or are you talking about the Mac not recognizing flash drive that you've plugged in?

  • How to re-install GPS driver - Miix 10 (IdeaPad)?

    I need help to recover from a self-inflicted wound.
    I just received a refurbished IdeaPad Miix 10 (Windows 8) tablet.  I was struggling with getting my navigation software to recognize the GPS (an issue that I have now Googled and while I don't like it, I think I understand it).  In the meantime I saw advice from someone "fixed" their GPS problem by de-installing and then re-installing the GPS driver.  So I tried it.  I de-installed it and then went back to the Device Manager thinking I could click on the device and re-install the driver - but the device is no longer listed.  Then I figured I could have it re-scan and it would detect the device and ask me if I wanted to re-install - that didn't work either.  I think the driver is still on the system - I didn't delete any files - but I don't know it's name or how to install it manually.  The GPS drivers on the Lenovo won't install on my system (been there, done that).
    Hoping someone can suggest a path to recovery. Thanks!

    Solved!

    OK.  I found a program in the Windows directory that scanned for missing drivers and re-installed the driver.
    Once the driver was re-installed, I found that there are TWO places you must configure sharing of location data - once at the system level (which I had configured) and once at the user level (which I had not configured).  Once I configured my user to share location data and restarted Oziexplorer, I found that it was receiving position data.

  • How do I install SATA driver?

    I've got a Raptor and I'm running it in a K8N Neo Platinum. I've also got a Sony DVD recorder.
    Which SATA do I hook the drive to and which IDE do I hook the recorder to?
    Also, how do I install the SATA driver? I don't want to use RAID so do I still need to intall a SATA driver?
    I ran into a problem when I was installing Windows XP and it said it couldn't load the device driver for my diskdrive and CD ROm Drive. I'm not sure why but I thought it might have something to do with SATA.
    Thank you,

    Oh man it's been a long 24 hours!  The reason I'm just getting back is because I removed my IDE HDD from this PC and installed it in my new K8N Neo. Well, it wasn't the SATA HDD causing the problem. I then removed my PS from this computer and installed it in the new one. Well, it wasn't the PS. Then I swapped my new PC3500 Mushkin Enhanced Memory 1GB (2x512) for my 1GB of Corsair XMS PC3200 in my old PC. Well, XP installed without a problem. It was my DAMN RAM. I guess it's bad or the Neo just doesn't like it. Anyway, I finally got this computer (old) back up and running so I could post.
    I put the Mushkin back in the Neo PC and tried to install XP again with just one stick at a time. It still wouldn't let me. I then lowered the speed of the memory down to 166Mhz from 200Mhz with one stick and XP loaded without a problem.
    So what do you guys think? Is my memory bad or does this board just not like Mushkin PC3500?
    Will I get hit will a restock fee from newegg when I return this memory and what memory should I get to replace it?

    Apple suppies all the drivers for all the printers that work with any specific os x version. Just go to the Print & scan section of system preferences and Add Printer (Plus ( + ) Sign) and if it is supported the driver will be there.

  • How can I install audio driver from BootCamp into Windows 7?

    After an uneventful installation of Window 7 (64) onto iMac  cor 2duo OS X 10.6.7.
    NO SOUND.
    I have tried to replace the Audio Driver HD through Device Manager: it is not working
      a) if I disable the Windows Driver and try to install the Cirrus driver from the BootCamp disc, I am informed that "device already has the optimal driver"
      b) if I unistall the WIndows driver, Sound Video Game Controller disappears from Device Manager-so there is no place through which I can install a new driver.
    c) If I start from the BootCamp/Driver folder and select Cirrus and Install, I am again getting the answer that the "device already has the optimal driver"
    I am frustrated! Please, can you advise how to proceed?

    You do NOT want to disable unless you are not going to use a device.
    You want to rollback or uninstall and get Cirrus driver.
    Try Boot Camp (Setup) repair-reinstall - to enable the device.
