The garbage output and feeding blank pages is often a symprom of a corrupt
driver.
Uninstall the printer using the uninstaller supplied by Epson.
This should be in START, ALL PROGRAMS and look under Epson.
Run the uninstaller.
Now open Control Panel and open Printers and Faxes.
Select File/Server Properties/Drivers select the driver that refers to the
Epson Stylus C88 and click on Remove.
Disconnect the cable that is attached to the printer.
Reboot the PC and reinstall the printer using the disk that came with it or you
can see if there is a later driver on the Epson website.
Do not connect the cable to the printer until asked to do so.
Good Luck.

I am having trouble with my printer, I have a Dell all-in-one Printer A940,
Ijust recently replaced the ink after being without it for several months, I
know that I installed it correctly, and that everything is connected
properly, but for some reason, it won't print, just blank pages come out. I
have tried everything in the help and support section, at one point it said
to click 'investigate' to see if my printer was connected to the right port,
and the message I got was that it may be a corrupt driver and that I should
uninstall the port and then reinstall it. I'm not sure how to do this. Could
someone help please-

Thanks, Vicki
