    I usually find thwt windows plays up if you have the printer connected when first installing the drivers.
    Have you tried uninstalling/deleting the printer in the printer folder, then leave printer connected, ON USB FIRST, BUT SWITCHED OFF,- Then instal drivers, and let Windows search for the printer - then switch printer on - and the drivers often install better --when it finds it and installs it, then look at wireless connection.

    I am pleased , as my usual line is
    Sometimes the obvious eludes us
    Mind you, it is not always clear in the instructions on many home products

    I spoke too soon,its slipped back to showing error..... I can access my printer from my computer ie for scanning etc its just when I get to send something to print I have been on Epsons website and done a diagnosis check which comes up all working fine when I try and go to the troubleshooter its comes up with an error saying Ativex is not allowing access whether this is connected with the problem. Someone suggest it might be a lack of printer memory not sure how i check that......
    When i send something to my printer it recognizes it prints the first inch of print then the error pops up and it freezes and the sends several sheets of blank paper through.................... any help would be gratefully received:confused
