Updating 1200 driver?

["Robert L. Clemens" <RClemens@compuserve.com>]

When I printed the test page for my Epson 1200 printer I noticed it said
that the driver was version 4.0. Browsing through Epson's web site I
came across a listing of their current drivers for the 1200 with Windows
95 and 98: version 4.5CE.

Hmmm... I figured I was out of date, despite having the printer only
since early June. So I downloaded the file, SP1245CE.EXE and ran it.
Never having updated a driver from a download, I assumed the new
version would automatically be placed, taking the place of the old. This
apparently is not the case, as the test page still shows 4.0 as the current
driver.

I have no shame in admitting my ignorance here. Can someone tell me:

1. Is my surmise correct that my present driver should be updated? The
printer is performing just fine, by the way.

2. If an update is in order, how is it accomplished? Nowhere in the help
files or manual is anything mentioned about updating printer drivers.

Any help will be appreciated. Please be gentle.  :-)
