Unable to install printer

Driver 64 bit for Epson stylus photo 915 printer
Have changed my computer which was 32 bit to one which has 64 bit, and the epson cd will not work on 64 bit. Have downloaded a driver from Epson site but still unable to install the printer, have also adjusted compatibility but no luck. Any advice on what else to try would be most welcomed.

According to Epson website there are no drivers available for win7 either 32 or 64 bit systems.

A quick google search has turned up

http://www.driverscape.com/download/epson-stylus-photo-915

This page does show a 64-bit driver for XP, Vista 7 & 8.

Please note I have not downloaded or tested the link or the driver.

I downloaded the driver but could do nothing with it, it did not make sense to me. I may be missing something?

Downloaded from where?

I down loaded the driver from : http://www.driverscape.com/download/epson-stylus-photo-915

Try phoning Epson support because their site, the manufacturers, list no suitable driver so where this other site obtained their drivers is anybodies guess.

Your printer is supported in windows 7 with built in Inbox drivers

The question has been asked here as the user has got the same printer working - windows should detect and install
http://www.sevenforums.com/hardware-devices/221934-hardware-compatability.html

from the above
You plug the printer in to your computer. It may automatically detect and load drivers for you. If not, while the printer is connected and powered on, run Windows Update, or the "Add Printer" wizard from Devices & Printers.
or
Connect your printer with the power and USB leads, click Start>Devices & Printers>Add a Printer then let Windows do the rest.

As you said I went to "Start>Devices & Printers>Add a Printer then let Windows do the rest" and the printer is now working OK.
Thank you all for the replies, much appreciated.
