I have a problem with the above printer
It installs fine on my PC - W98, installs drivers , all is OK
On my Dad's PC, in the next room, is also W98, but on his machine the paper
goes rampant, making 3 pages from a 1 page document, the print is distorted,
and has lines through it
The printers are not networked, I should add, , i.e. I take the printer into
my room, and test it out there, it works, we take out of my room, and into
my Dad's room, and once hooked up to his Pc, the Printer doesn't work
properly, it just prints out rubbish
We've installed and uninstalled the Printer Drivers to destruction, over the
last week, all to no avail, it works OK on my PC, but on my Dad's PC it just
doesn't want to know.
The Printer is USB, so my thought is that there maybe a problem with my
Dad's USB ports? All drivers are up to date, we've got the CD, and I've even
been to the Epson website to get the latest driver(s), same story, on my PC
the Printer works fine, on my Dad's, it doesn't
I find it odd that given we both run W98, both use the same Printer
Drivers, the same printer, that it works on my PC, but doesn't on Dad's.
His is a newer install of W98, (i.e. installed about a year ago). mine is
slightly older, 2 to 3 years older infact.
I find it really odd that the printer works on my PC , but not on Dad's,
especially as his is a newer install of W98.
Can there be anything on his pc that isn't working properly, I went into
device manager, and didn't see any conflicts at all, nothing looked
suspicious infact
Can anyone suggest what to do next?
Thank you
