  5. In the Device Manager window, click View > Show Hidden Devices
  6. Check for any Epson related entry and if found, delete it
  7. Disconnect the Epson Printer
  8. Reboot your PC

The basic objective behind these troubleshooting steps is to remove all obsolete Epson software from your Windows 10 system. According to Epson, they have not released any Windows 10 compatible driver for the Epson Stylus Photo R200. However, the printer works well with the native drivers in Windows 10. All you need to do is force Windows 10 to install the native driver instead of using the old driver. Follow the steps given below to install native drivers for Epson Stylus Photo R200.

  1. Restart the PC
  2. Connect the Epson Stylus Photo R200 to your PC through USB
