I just purchased a very lightly used Epson P6000 to replace my 7600 which I have used for over 10 years. I downloaded the driver and started the installation and my computer can't locate the printer. I have tried variations of turning the printer on, changing the printer cord, and have tried the installation on 3 different computers. Still no luck. The only thing I can think of is that 2 of the channels are out of ink. (the seller shipped it with two empty cartridges) Any suggestions are appreciated.

You don't explicitly state the connection method, I assume you're using USB. The USB port could be faulty, perhaps the previous owner attached via ethernet. If possible you could try same. I doubt that the cartridges would have any effect on printer detection/installation.
I did a quick read of the manual, no indication that the USB port can be switched off, but you should check.

It is a USB - I sent a note to the seller to see if he used USB or Ethernet.

Now this is embarrassing- I looked to see what other options I had and found that I had put the wire in the ethernet port !!!!!!!!!! Was too tired after unpacking and moving it into the house!!! Dennis (Red Faced)
