The first question I would have is do you use a RIP to print your film positives on the 1800? If so, you might have to check your ports to make sure that they are aligned correctly. See both the Anajet driver (used only for Dual CMYK) and the EK Print RIP are both basically Epson R1800 drivers that have different wrappers (i.e. covers) on them with some hardwired features to them. So it sounds like you might have had an update on your computer that changed the way these drivers are communicated. I would first start off by removing the queues and drivers associated with both of them. Just delete the queues from Printers & Faxes folder. If you have XP, then go to File --> Server Properties --> Drivers tab and delete the drivers listed for both of these printers only. Same thing for Vista, but you have to go File --> Run as Administrator (THIS IS THE KEY STEP) --> Server Properties --> Drivers tab. Then restart your computer and make sure that you have the printers disconnected from the computer before it restarts. Reinstall the drivers for your film positive printer first since you probably had that first. Check to see if that is working after the reinstall. If not, contact the company you purchased it from for assistance. Then reinstall the EK Print software. Plug the printer in and test it.
Make sure that you test both printers to if they are working at the same time. There is the slight chance that the two printers will not work at the same time, but I have seen EK Print work on the same computer with a standard 1800 printer driver as well. Hope this helps.
