Message: [QUOTE="martinlest, post: 211189, member: 11046"] I have had a good number of relatively expensive printers over the past several years, all of which lasted very little longer than their warranty period before breaking down. So I went back to this old Epson I had in storage. I had to use it in Windows XP, as there are no drivers for later O/Ss, but for a couple of years it worked fine. Now however, when I try to print a (let's say a single-page) document, pretty much the same thing happens every time: The printer pulls the paper through and ejects it without printing anything. It then takes another sheet and prints the first inch or so just fine, then ejects that paper as well. It will then print several pages containing random (Greek etc.) characters.. Seems to me, expert as I am NOT, that the problem is with the communication rather than the hardware (?), though I don't have any other WinXP machine to test that on. I uninstalled all the software, disconnected and reconnected and reinstalled the software (basically driver and Status Monitor), but exactly the same thing happens. Anyone able to help me get the printer back online? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
