Hello,
I'm living in Japan and I'm thinking of purchasing this printer, but am looking for an English driver for Windows XP Pro sp3. Does anyone know how to find English drivers for Japanese Epson printers? It's a nuisance that they don't use the same model numbers in Japan and abroad.
Thanks,
Chris

Re: English Driver equivalent for Epson PX-5600 printer
The PX-5600 is sold as the Epson Stylus Photo R2880 elsewhere, so perhaps you can use the R2880 driver: Epson Stylus Photo R2880, Drivers & Downloads
Best wishes,

Thanks - that's what I did before posting. Did you get a lot of results in Japanese?

Yes, and I skipped all those, since I can't read Japanese. Google might give you more results in Japanese than me, though, because you're in Japan.
Best wishes,

Would you mind telling me the link - I want to see if it actually comes up. I'm using the FireFox extension Optimize Google and I think combined with me being in Japan it is throwing off the results.
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks, Hans, your results are completely different. Now I need to work out why.

I think Google tailors search results depending on the location of the user.

Yes, I need to find a way to make Google think I am somewhere else.

Found the answer - I just needed to filter the results to English language only to get the same results as Hans.
