I have 3 PCs. 2 XP machines and 1 Mac OS X machine. The printer is on the
Mac. I have 1 of the XP machines setup and it prints fine to the Mac. On the
other XP machione I made the mistake of choosing an Epson 1270 driver
instead of an Epson 1280 Driver and now I can't change it! If I go to the
printers properties and try to change the driver everythign goes smoothly
until I hit the "Finish" button. I get this dialog box that says "UNABLE TO
INSTALL EPSON STYLUS PHOTO 1280, WINDOWS 2000 OR XP, INTEL DRIVER.
OPERATION COULD NOT BE COMPLETED." I know it is not the driver because
I tried about 10 different drivers from different manufacturers from the list
but all end up in the same dialog box. If I delete the printer all together and
reinstall it, I no longer have the option of choosing the driver, instead the
add printer wizard automatically chooses the 1270 driver :( Any
suggestions?
Thanks

Try uninstallling it once more... and remember to do step 4.
