Tips & Warnings
Check out www.driverguide.com for a catalogue of hard-to-find drivers. You may have to register, but it beats having to buy them from another site.
Don't hesitate to contact Epson technical support. Emailing is free, and they should be able to provide you with expert advice.
Tracking down hard-to-find drivers can be difficult alone. Try posting on some user forums and wait patiently for aid from your peers.
Make sure you get the correct driver. Subtle differences in model numbers matter. For example, Aculaser 1000 CX11N drivers will not work properly for Aculaser 1000 CX11NF printers.
