[SOLVED] Windows 7 64 bit driver for Epson Perfection 1650 photo scanner

Help
I have a perfectly good Epson Perfection 1650 photo scanner but cannot get it to work on W7 64bit as I cannot find a driver. Can anyone help please

Cheers

Welcome to the forums Bigdave! It's a long shot, but someone has modified another scaner model driver to work in x64 Vista and this might do the trick in Windows 7:

Please let us know if it works, and if it doesn't we'll see if there's another way to get it working

I tried the link and got the reply ".... we have no more download slots left for non-members...." and you have to pay minimum £7 to become a member ! Any other idea's ?

Bigdave

I'd try the same download again in in the next hour - that's just a temporary message

I'll see if I can find another download location for you. edit: I can't find any other mirrors, but if you keep trying that download link it will work soon enough.

Hi Ian
Tried it again a few mins ago and got similar message " Unfortunately right now our servers are overloaded and we have no more download slots left for non-members. Of course you can also try again later." I will keep trying though thanks.

Hi Bigdave

I tried that link too and recieve the same error.

• First attempt, appeared to be working. The download box come up but after several minutes never started downloading.
• Second attempt, I was told I already have a download started.
• Third attempt, I recieved the same message as you about the servers being busy.

Unfortunately, that was the only link I could find for a 64-Bit driver.

I keep getting that error when trying to download it too, and I can't find it anywhere else

I will keep trying to download this today and then re-upload it somewhere else for you when/if I get it

Good news... after 10 attempts it finally worked

I've re-uploaded it to Uploading.com and the link is:

That driver is worth a shot. Fingers crossed!

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS !!!!
Ian, thankyou very much, downloaded it no problem, and it now works ! just saved me from having to bin it and buy another one. But why can we not get this driver from the Epson website (lord knows i have tried)

Cheers Pal !
