We have just installed the Microsoft patch kb816560-x86-ENU.exe on all our
PCs, and now NO Epson printers will work! The spooler goes mad and CPU usage
shoots to 100%. Microsoft say delete the printer reboot & reinstall, but this
doesn't work. Does anyone know of a solution or a roll-back for this issue?
This is affecting 200+ users globally, and Epson can't help...
 
Not are they properly installed/ uninstalled, I have tried these printers on
new build PCs with this patch applied: the same fault occurs! There appears
to be a conflict between the spooler in Win2K and the Epson spooler, I need
away of resolving with; no, you can't get into printer properties to print
without spooling!
 
Have you tried downloading a updated driver for the printer. I have had epson
printers work fine with the driver that came on the cd but overnight stop
working and uninstall/reinstall have no effect. However by downloading an
updated/compatible driver its worked again. No idea why this happens as the
driver worked for ages then overnight day never worked again!!!!
