Epson Stylus 1280 & Printing Can't Work
Feb 6, 2009
My wife has an Epson Stylus Photo 1280 printer. We installed the driver from Vista the issue she is having is she cannot go into the printing preferences to change the size (change the margins) it will not allow here. She prints true 12x12's and under Vista it will not allow her to change these setting under XP no problems. I was able to set a user defined 12x12 paper size. It is not listed as an option to print through the Windows Photo Gallery. And I can?t print it through my Memory Mixer software, it wants to change the dimensions and then it only prints a little square right in the middle of the page.

I have a real problem. I have an Epson colour stylus 680 that was printing, connected via USB to a laptop using vista. I disconnected the USB cable for a while and now it refuses to print anything. Odd facts:
- The printer is installed again every time I connect the cable, (annoying)
- The PC detects the cable automatically, but still it doesn't print
- The print command is getting sent through, but isn't actually printing
- I have changed the ports various times and deleted printers, reinstalled them, and rebooted, etc, to no avail.
I have called Epson, who said it's better I talk to Microsoft, who then directed me to PCworld/Advent, and still I can't get the thing to work. Last time, the guy at Epson, by trial and error, I think, managed to get it working, but heaven knows how.

My home network consists of a DSL Modem, Wireless Router, 5 computers (One Computer is a notebook with Vista Home Basic), and a HP840C printer, which is connected as a network printer. Everything works fine except the one notebook with Vista Home Basic. An Acer aspire with preinstalled OS. Microsoft says that Acer is the OEM and responsible for the Vista Home Basic OS. Acer suggests updating driver. HP says the driver is OK. All the computers see the network and can communicate and access the internet just fine. My only problem is printing with the Vista. That computer will print ok after I install printer and driver, but after I shut the computer off and restart, I can't print. The print jobs get stuck in the print queue and nothing happens. The print jobs remain in the queue until I cancel them. If I connect the printer directly to the notebook's USB port it works fine. The computers with win98se OS and with XP OS have no problem.

I have been using Windows Vista for a year now. For the first 6 months, Windows Mail worked just fine but now when I try to print messages, it locks up and none of the buttons work. The only way I can get it to respond again is by using the Task Manager to shut it down and then restart it. And even then it sometimes will not work.

I'm running Vista Ultimate 64-bit. I have a 24" LG Flatron L246WP-BN HD widescreen monitor and an integrated Radeon HD 3300 GPU on my ASUS M3A78-T mobo. After buying the monitor I realized it wouldn't work properly with my old system so I built a completely new one. (Check out my full system specs.) The monitor's native resolution is 1920 x 1200.
The problem I'm having is that I can't set the resolution higher than 1280 x 720. If I do I lose almost one-half of my screen (everything shifts to the left so I can't even see my Start button, etc.). Am I doing something wrong? What good is it having a widescreen 24" 1920 x 1200 HD monitor if I lose half the screen by setting it to it's native resolution?

Being on a 17" CRT 1024 x 768 resolution for a long time, would it be alright to move over to a 13.3" screen with 1280 x 800 resolution? Yes I've been told by many of the designers that it is not good at all but I think the comments weren't exactly right since they are already working on large monitors with high resolution support. So what say you? Of course I'm no professional in designing, currently still studying and learning.

All phases of the printer operation run very slowly with all programs. It is a matter of Click and wait for probably over a minute and sometimes longer ? not just a few seconds delay. If this is not the correct place to ask we hope you can link us..........

I tried to scan with the Epson NX 415 printer but I get an error saying that it is unbale to communicate with the computer. I installed the latest drivers, and when I was chatting with the Epson tech support, they had me try to scan with Pain, but that too did not work. So they said I had a problem with the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service and to contact Microsoft. Not sure what I need to do to get this working. I am able to print fine with the printer. My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit

I have an Epson Stylus C64 printer which I am able to use as normal (with ink levels and status monitor appearing) on my old computer with Windows XP.
My new laptop is Vista and although I have installed the Epson Stylus Printer Software that came with the printer onto the laptop, the Ink Indicator Levels and the Epson Status Monitor options showing in 'Printer Prefences' seem to be grayed-out/disabled. I am unable to gauge my ink levels so have no idea how much ink I have available and/or when to replace it. The actual printing seems to be fine at the moment but I am unable to tell when the ink requires replacing.
I have tried to re-install the Epson Printer software but nothing seems to change - the ink levels and status monitor contine to be disabled/grayed out. I noticed that when installing the software I am asked to disable any anti-virus software - I have Norton installed but have no idea how to uninstall it - my computer also seems to be automatically provided with something called McAfee Security - again I am unsure how to disable this and whether in fact I need to do this - it may be that the anti-virus programs are hindering the Epson software from fully loading? Any ideas and/or suggestions would be most welcome.

I cannot install an Epson Perfection V200 Photo Scanner on my Vista Home Premium equipped PC. Epson technical support personnel have been zero. This is a new model scanner that is supposed to work with Vista. I have used the software disk that came with the scanner, and I have downloaded and used the latest driver from the Epson website. I have installed, uninstalled, and installed both of these numerous times. I always get the same error message......

HP is the new web printing ad-on for IE8? It says that it is but when you go to download it, it states that the system is only for IE6 and IE7? When I called HP to ask about the new version, they acted like they didn't know what I was talking about, surprise, surprise...They told me that it is not HP but Microsoft that will publish this ad-on? I didn't understand that, they told me to call them.

how to resolve or further debug. I've got a Thinkpad Laptop running Vista x64 Ultimate. I reinstalled the OS ~3 weeks ago and installed my print drivers. I have 2 network printers and I also use doPDF to create PDFs. All of these were working
just fine.
Today they are not printing correctly, but not in a way I can figure out. Applications give me an error saying there is an unknown error or that there is no default printer installed. This happens in Firefox, OpenOffice, Acrobat, Thunderbird and others.
The weird thing is that if I goto control panel and try to print a test page with any of the printers it works fine. In addition, I can print txt files from both Notepad & Wordpad, but still not from Openoffice. So why is it I can print simple txt files & test pages but not from the apps I need to print from. BTW this happens for all the printers I have installed including the 2 network printers, the local PDf printer (doPDF), & the XPS printer. These all worked last time I printed (a few days ago), but not today. What can I do to ideally fix this or at least better debg this?

My KX-P1123 does not print in response to the "Print" command from Vista Home Basic. It worked well when connected to Win98. I don't think theprinter is at fault because it does print in response to inputs from itsControl Table.
I am using the correct printer cable ."USB to Centronix 36parallel printer. Vista's Control Panel/Printers shows the KX-P1123 is installed. The Panasonic website tells me that the printer's driver (*1INBOX) is installed and no other drivers are needed.
Following the instructions that came with the cable, I made the KX-P1123 the default printer, right-clicked it and selected "Properties". Then clicked "Ports" and selected "USB001:Virtual PrinterPort for USB". Clicking "Print Test Page" changes printer status from "Ready" to "Error".
If I connect my Epson inkjet to the PC, it works well, so the PC does not seem to be the problem.I evidently did something wrong, or left something undone.

I've tried everything conceivable to get a decent print-out of a 4-page tif file I have, to no avail. I have Vista Home Premium. When I try to print from Windows Photo Gallery, it turns my tif into landscape orientation and then prints only the middle part and the output is distorted.
I am so frustrated with Vista. I'm sending 3/4 of my time solving problems and getting very little work done. Can someone please tell me how to print a decent copy of a 4-page tif file in Vista?

When attempting to print/save a web page as a PDF in Vista, a dialog pops up; "For your computer???s security, the file was saved to the Temporary Internet File Folder.? Do you want to open this folder?, Yes or No". When clicking ?Yes? you are taken to a folder named ?Virtualized?, which contains no files. Also the PDF printer dialog box shows "Error - Printing" and the PDF printer refuses to print. PDF files can be saved from other programs with no problems. The web page can also be printed to local or network printers. We are not using Zone Alarm

The shared printer is connected to LPT of a Vista computer. We used to have an XP computer that could print to this printer. We changed the XP comp for a Vista notebook. This notebook has the same user/password as the Vista machine where the printer is connected to. Hence, this user can print from the notebook.
Now the strange part: another user on this notebook can't. It is sent to the printer spooler, sits there for a few minutes ('printing...') and then there's an error message (just 'cannot print' or something like that). We set this account to administrator type, during install we put in and stored the account name and password of the account that can print (so the one that is the same on both computers) but to no avail. We followed this instruction from an earlier post [1]:.......

I couldn't see a forum based purely on printing, so please redirect me if this is not the place to be. I've been searching for an answer to this for a while, but haven't been getting very far. Scenario: Vista 32bit Home Premium SP1 PC, with a Konica Minolta 2500w Magicolor printer via USB. All printing works fine from the desktop. XP Laptop with SP3, all sitting together happily in a wireless network (workgroup called workgroup). File and printer sharing is turned on, and I can exchange files between laptop and desktop with no issues.
I can see and install the printer on the laptop, and I can print a test page (I had to turn bidirectional off to achieve this, or at least achieve this without restarting the print spooler every time). When I try to print from an application such as Word, I get an error to say that there was an error printing to the printer, check printer is installed properly, etc. If I try to print from notepad I get an error the handle is invalid. If I try to print from Wordpad, no errors, but no print job is created either. I can continue to print test pages from the laptop even after receiving this error. Within the Network and Sharing Centre, I can see the printer listed underneath my Vista desktop machine. If I connect the printer directly to the laptop via the USB cable, the laptop can print from any application I choose.

I have a VPN connection from my home to my office. I have an XP machine at the office with programs that I need to run from home. I remote desktop into the xp machine at the office over the VPN. I need to print documents at home from the xp machine at the office. I have a wireless network at home with an HP printer connected to the router. I have 2 laptops at home, 1 runs xp and the other runs vista. Both laptops can print fine locally. Both laptops can romote into the office computer and run it fine. The xp machine at the office will print to the printer at home fine thru the xp laptop over the VPN. When using the vista laptop over the VPN to the office the home shows up and print jobs seem to go fine. .....EXCEPT...... only part of document prints. It may only print the first line or it may cut off the last few lines. It will print the "test page" with no problem.

It seems that local printing using a RemoteApp program (via TS Easy Print) only works for Vista, not for XP. It that true? I can't get it to work for a client running Windows XP SP3, running a program which is really on my Windows Server 2008 SP1. Or maybe I'm missing something. Is there a work-around for XP (like maybe install .net 3.5)?

I want to print out a list someone has sent me in an email. I select and click on the selection option but it always prints out the header information along with the selection. Is there a way to have it only print the selected area? I looked in options and can't seem to find any way to correct that issue.

I have a Dell Inspiron 531 computer with Vista Home. My printer is an Epson Stylus C86. It prints everything that I send it, except coupons. The coupon page says my coupons are printing, but they don't. I get the following statement when I tried to reload the coupon printing software.
"Unfortunately our site does not support coupon printing using your current computer set up. Coupon Printing for Windows. Coupon printing is currently supported on Windows Operating Systems Vista, XP, and 2000 when used with Internet Explorer 6+, FireFox 1+ Netscape 8+, and most MSN and AOL browsers."
