Hi,
I have an Epson Stylus C41UX which worked perfectly until it was 30 days out of warranty. The print quality SUDDENLY went very ragged, within a few seconds, and the refused to print at all. I had it serviced fully. The tech reported printer was AOK.
Hooked it up to pc again, running 98se, still no printer. Seems to be a port problem. Printer software wants to use LPT1 all the time. Under printer properties, the port is listed as “EPUSB1: (Unknown local port)”, but when trying to print says it wants to use LPT1. Re-installed w98, at tech’s suggestion, and printer software, subsequently. Still nothing.
Everything happens as it is supposed to, printer dialogue etc, showing how long to go etc, ink levels, everything, BUT the printer itself remains silent. If it was on a network, you would swear everything was ok. Printer appears in control panel/system as it should. Everything checks ok, but the printer doesn’t seem to know this.
Any ideas would be most gratefully accepted.
Thanks in advance.
