Win 7 driver - ASUS P5PE-VM Motherboard

According to HP, you don't need to download drivers from HP for this product for Win 7. Just use the Add Printer wizard function of Win 7 to go to the Microsoft Update site and get the driver from there. Follow the directions in this link:

HP LaserJet Driver support included in Windows 7 or in Windows Update

Windows 8 has updated drivers as much as you would get from Asus built into win 8.

Go to devise MGR, if windows 8 did not load drivers, you will see a flag.

See what hardware did not load a driver and then use the win 7 driver.

You don't do anything to make a win 7 driver work, if the driver is newer, and signed it will install, if it's older then the driver windows installed, it won't install. If you see a flag and windows did not install a driver, then try the win 7 driver, or go to the MFG of the hardware and see if there is a win 8 driver.

You can also run windows update, if win update see's a newer driver out it might pick it up and give you a install option.


Now, your chipset, and most hardware has windows 8 drivers out.

The drivers are the biggest problem, the biggest problem for you is the BIOS was not set for windows 8.

So you could find even with the best drivers, win 8 slower or has bugs more then win 7 will have.

Me, I would bench test all the hardware with win 7, then with win 8 and see which one is better.

Did you run the Windows 7 upgrade advisor before you installed Win 7. You may find that windows 7 doesn't allow the use of your graphics hardware. With the issue of Win 7, Microsoft decided that they would only allow the use of hardware that had been tested by themselves. To enforce this all drivers for Win 7 onwards require "Signed Drivers" to operate properly. You may need to buy a Win 7 ready graphics card to continue with a stable computer.

You could, drivers are based on manufacture. Like Realtek is a common maker of audio chips, and sometimes distributors use a popular motherboard.
You may have plateaued at Vista, by try the Troubleshooting Compatibility with Vista 64 drivers before you roll it back.

BTW - This happened to me with Win 8.

1. Follow this web address : http://www.epson.com.ph/epson_philippines/support/eol_product.page?support_name=Epson_Stylus_C59#
2. Hit drivers button
3. Select the Operating system Vista if you have Win 7 - 32 bit or Vista 64 if you have Win 7 - 64 bit
( You can find out what win 7 version you have if you hit right click on My computer > Proprieties )
4. Download driver and install
5. do not worry, Vista drivers will work under Win 7

the drivers are different for win 7 you wont be able to load your driver software if you are having winxp drivers you need to load the win7 drivers to get win 7 drivers you need to search the net and provide OS as win 7

Just click:

Print Driver (Including Smart Panel) - Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7(32,64bit)

Scan Driver - Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7(32,64bit)

Universal Print Driver - Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7(32,64bit)

Cheers!

there will be no win 7 driver as win 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft
to get a driver , you have to go to the manufacturers web site , find a down load for that model that is compatible for win 7 operating system
win xp is also not supported by Microsoft so there will be driver problems there as well

i have the same problem :((

HI there
you will need the new software for win 7 , and it not easy to find the new drivers for the printers to mach
