i'm using the disk that come with it... "epson stylus dx4400 series software cd-rom" just says windows edition on the disk.
i thik you might be on to something actually with the vista thing.... this does sound like it could be a vista glitch.... when i read the reviews for the printer, it says does support vista though.
thanks!

Epson Foreign Language Options Solution
I had the similar problem. This is how to fix it.
Step One:
Switch off and disconnect the printer. Click on START, then CONTROL PANEL > Printers. Locate your printer icon, right-click it and select 'Cancel All Documents'. If you have more than one icon for your printer model, repeat this for the other driver too. If you have had to cancel documents, restart the PC before continuing to Step. 2.
Step Two:
Go to Programs and Features in Control Panel, and remove the following items:
EPSON PRINTER SOFTWARE (this may be named in a foreign language like EPSON DRUCKER SOFTWARE). When you are at this stage and have selected to 'change/remove' this item, a window will appear titled 'EPSON Printer Utility' - above the icons of each of your EPSON printers will be a 'Printer Model' tab and 'Utility' tab. Please click on one of the printers so it is highlighted, then select 'Utility' - please tick every box listed in the 'Utility' section and select 'OK'. Answer positively to all questions and once the uninstall is complete, you will need to follow the same procedure to remove the other EPSON printer drivers by clicking on 'EPSON PRINTER SOFTWARE' again and 'CHANGE/REMOVE'.
Step Three:
Open up Computer, and navigate to the drive (usually C) where windows is installed. Browse to the folders called Windows/inf.
Find the files labelled OEMxx.inf, where xx is a number from 00, 01, 02 etc upwards. You will need to double click on each INF file in turn, and if it says "SEIKO EPSON" or "EPSON" within the first few lines, then you need to close the file, and then delete it. Repeat this until all EPSON INF files are removed. On my system they were the highest numbered OEMXX files as the printer was the latest hardware I had installed, so save your self sometime and start from the highest number
Step Four:
Staying in Computer, stay within the windows folder and navigate to system32/spool/drivers, and go into the folder named "w32x86". Delete any folders that begin with "epson" and any downloaded Epson driver files. There maybe other folders too. I have seen one computer have a folder named '3'. Pretty much any file in this folder begiining with an 'e' can be deleted.
Step Five:
Restart the PC. Once rebooted, empty the Recycle Bin. MAKE SURE YOUR PRINTER IS STILL SWITCHED OFF AND DISCONNECTED AT THIS POINT.
You now need to download the latest driver from the Epson website. First determine what version of Vista you are running (either 32-bit or x64 bit). To do this, go to Control Panel > double-click System. Locate 'System Type' on that window, the version will be noted here.
To download the driver you need to go to:
http://esupport.epson-europe.com/SupportHome.aspx
[Vista 32bit drivers can be downloaded direct from here]
Select your product type (All in One, or Inkjet Printer) from the first drop down menu, then pick your product model and operating system from the other two. Cick the Search button, choose Printer Driver to download and save the files to the desktop. Double click on the icon on your desktop and follow the instructions. If you receive a UAC - User Account Control message advising that the Epson file has an unidentified publisher, choose 'Allow' to continue the installation. Click the âSetupâ button to unzip the files, then ensure you highlight your specific model then click âOKâ to continue. At the end of the driver installation, you may receive a specific message saying âThis program may not have installed correctlyâ - please click the option "This program installed correctly".
Once installed, restart the PC. The foreign language tabs will now appear in English.
