    hi Flutered. I'm not sure if you ever got this working or not!

    If you don't have them already, you will need to download the Epson R245 printer drivers, and the Lexmark X3350 drivers (vista drivers are usually OK for Windows 7).

    As long as they're plugged in, powered on, and connected to the computer (USB?), Windows 7 should pick them up, but there's a fair chance it's not recognising them. That's where the drivers come in. Just unpack the drivers to a folder, then go to your printers and devices, add new printer, and when it asks, say you want to choose the software/driver location, and browse to the location of the unzipped files for that printer. Unless there's a problem with the printers themselves, this should be easy enough!

    hope this helps.
