July 16, 2021

Important Note:

This driver requires Epson printer components to be installed into the Wasatch SoftRIP installation folder prior to printing. A zip file of the components can be downloaded using the following link:

• Epson ML-8000 components

After saving the zip file from the link, extract the contents into the \wwripXX\ folder. (The folder is typically installed on the C: driver but may have been changed during the installation process, and the XX in the suggested path refers to the version of SoftRIP similar to "wwrip80".
