Hi guys,

I have just purchased an Epson C46 printer and after installing the software
it wont print. I have a lexmark also and that prints no problem. As far as
I know the printer port is ok as it says in device manager that everything
is working ok and there are no conflicts in device manager either. The only
error message I get when trying to print is there was an error trying to
print to printer port (LPT 1). All the cables are correctly fitted etc...
I took the printer to my sons house where we tried it there and it worked no
problem so there is obviously something different with my pc to his. I am
running windows ME and he is running XP I have tried an updated driver
with no success.

Can anyone shed any light on what the problem may be please?

Thank you.

You need to set your printer to print through the USB port (look at the
printers properties)

If you have both priters installed at the same time than when you print you
have to make sure that you chose the printer that you want it to print on.

If you have only have one of the printers hooked up and you didn;t uninstall
the printer than it is probley still regitstry with windows and you need to
uninstall it.
