Epson 1280 using 1290 driver

2003-01-03 by glewis4457@aol.com

Today the UPS man delivered my new Epson 1280 printer.  Gotta remember to get 
that $100 rebate info off to Epson.  Now there has been alot of interest in 
using the Euro 1290 driver on the US spec 1280 printer.  Now before I install 
this printer...why should I, or not, install the 1290 driver.  

I already have a C80 that I want to share on my computer....what are the 
pitfalls or what should I look out for.  My first guess is to uninstall the 
C80 before installing the 1280 and kinda making it the default printer.  That 
should make the ink monitor work on the 1290 driver...there is a matching ink 
monitor app on the Epson UK site along with the 1290 driver so I am assuming 
they are a match.

I would appreciate any advice on the setting up of these two printers.
