install epson printer via lpt to usb

I'm trying to install the Epson LQ-570+ to my new laptop that runs on windows 8. It has always been connected to my laptop with a usb cord but now It will not install and the tech support team didnt have an answer for me. Can anyone help? do I need to change compatibility mode?

Have you tried installing the drivers from its official website?

What error are you receiving?

Have you tried connecting to different USB port?

Hi Dive,

What's symptom when you attempt to install it?

I noticed that there is no driver of this model for Windows 8 in its official webiste. I suspect it's caused by the incompatible driver. How did you get the proper driver before?

It's recommend to contact its official support to obtain the proper driver and professional solution.
