Question about 'Go Directly to Device Manager'

I have a question about printer drivers href="http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article01-420">Go
Directly to Device Manager:
I bought an Epson R220 printer and installed it using the specific CD on my old computer
using Windows XP. Being a new model Windows did not provide a driver and I was able
to have the printer-monitor feature that showed the ink level in all 6 cartridges.
When I moved the printer to my new computer (programmed in Italian, by the way),
Windows Vista found a driver and installed it.
My PROBLEM is that I have been unable to replace it with the Epson driver BECAUSE
I can't find Device Manager.
The Vista driver does not allow any sort of monitoring of ink level and the printer
merely stops printing when the ink runs out without indicating why it stopped.
I have not found Device Manager on this computer, not even by following your instructions.
This could be an OS language problem, so that perhaps I should be asking an Italian
about this.

You have to go into the Control Panel in XP for easy access to Device Manager. May
have to click on classic view to see all the Icons in Control Panel.
