Epson C60 and Win2000

I have a relative who just bought a custom-built desktop computer
with Windows 2000 professional installed. Today, I'm going to try and set
up his Epson C60 parallel port printer with it. When I plug in the parallel
port, will Windows 2000 have the necessary driver to install it, or will I
need to use the Epson CD-ROM? I remember when I plugged in my ancient HP
712C to a Windows XP computer, XP already had the necessary driver.

Never mind. I just got back from his house, and Windows 2000 did
not have the drivers for the Epson C60. I had to use the Epson CD-ROM, and
install thru the Add New Printer wizard.
