This bulletin provides additional information to allow printer driver ver 1.03E for the Stylus 400,
800+ and Color printers to complete the installation process when connected to Epson
Progression/Progression4/NX-Epson and Endeavor-WG computers in the MS Windows 3 .x
environment.
When attempting to install the 1.03E printer driver the following warning message appears:
"This driver cannot he updated because it is currently being used by windows.
Wait until Windows is finished using the driver, and then try again."

process. The following steps will help complete the installation:
