    I use an old Epson FX-80+ in XP for some invoicing......XP loaded the drivers just fine.

    Just make sure its connected to the computer and turned on before you boot.

    according to this link XP has native drivers for that printer. If they don't work, use epsons win2000 drivers and download the status monitor for xp located here
