Installing Epson printer problem

I am pleased to tell you that after I downloaded the latest driver I can use
my scanner again.
Thanks for your help

Do you have any software that you use for photo editing, such as
Photoshop? If so does that software pick up the scanner and see it?

Downloaded the latest driver Uninstalled the software. Instlled again.
Tried a different USB port. .
Plugged in the scanner and had "found new hardware". Asked for the CD to
install software and sofware installed
Opened smart panel to scan and got the message "The scanner cannot be
detected"
Checked the device manager and scanner shown as working OK
What do you suggest now!

Two things to try:
Make sure you have the latest drivers for the scanner. If not then
download them and install.
Uninstall the software completely for the scanner. Then reinstall it
following Epson's directions of how to get it running.
Quite often the older models were a little flakey in intitially being
picked up through USB. Once found though they are pretty reliable.
Additionally, try a different USB port on the computer. It may make a
difference.

Hopefully you didn't need that operation because of too much morris
dancing.

Please excuse me.I was completely wrong in saying it was my printer. I
meant to say my Epson Perfectioin 1200U. scanner.
My only excuse was I have just had an operation and was slightly
woozy!!

There must be a missing message here.
Your post was about an Epson 880 printer.

The drivers are OK and device manager shows the scanner connected and
working OK

Now you're referring to a scanner. What scanner?

If you're installing it on XP there are two files to install. One is
the XP driver package and the other is the the status monitor.

I am having reinstalling my Epson 880 printer. I remember the last
time I did it I was informed that I had to have "Stimon" running in
order to do this. How do I install Stimon. I may have the spelling
of Stimen wrong
