Epson Scanner and Windows 7

**Wajeeha** · 16-06-2010

I have purchased a Epson Stylus Photo RX560 and it is working fine with Windows XP. I have Windows 7 installed in my laptop. The problem is that when I am connecting the printer to the laptop, I am not able to work with the same in it. So, I want to know that are Epson Scanner and Windows 7 compatible with each other.

All possible replies and suggestions on this topic are duly appreciated.
