help...
after running our T-jet printer for a few weeks (happily) yesterday I got an error in fast artist that required a re-install of that program... did try installing over the top but when that didn't work just renamed the old program folder and set about doing a clean install... no probs I thought
all seemed well until I went to print... the file gets processed as ususal, even in fastrip everything seems ok but... nothing happens at the printer end
so to test the communication between pc and printer I tried to send a file to the printer just using the epson 2200 driver and got a 'paper out error'
so then I deleted the printer drivers and rebooted the pc... fresh install of the epson 2200 and T-jet2 drivers and still no comunication to the printer... now it says that it can't find the printer using the epson 2200
but xp found the hardware and setup the epson driver it'self so I know it got the right port and such
so I checked the port and it all looks fine, just like I remembered it before the re-install
so what I realy need now is a step by step explaination of setting up the printer drivers properly, because I have obviously done something wrong... it was working great so I know I set this all up last time the 'right way' but I figure I must have missed a step or forgotten to check something along the way this time
I have searched the forums all day today and can't find anything to help... so please can some one who 'has a clue' help me see the trees for the forrest
and yes I did remember to check the control panel check box in the printer management
the epson 2200 is set to Lpt1... the T-Jet2 installs in a different port that I thought I had to change to Lpt1 as well... thats right yes?
cheers
