Hi rexrob and welcome to TSF

This sounds to me to be most likely a driver issue. Uninstall the printer and redownload the drivers here:

http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/s...dows&x=34&y=14

Install them, and tell me if it was fixed.

Techpro5238 Thanks a bunch for answering my post.I am not to great in figuring what to click on to get the install download,could you please walk me thru the procedure.
Also could I burn this to a dvd when I get it up.
Thanks again
Bob

Epson EasyPrint v3.10A, I am guessing download that one. I am not really sure, and yes after we get the driver we can burn it to a disk.

techpro5238 I tryed to install the EasyPrint one which it said was for Windows XP but it installed MSN print instead. I tryed to find where I could unstall it but to no avial
Now my printer don`t work at all.I think I will take it to the computer shop and see if they can do anything Bob

Goto Start -> Printer and Faxes -> Right click on the MSN Printer and remove it. I have found the exact link, this will surely install your printer, no worries :

I uninstalled the MSN deal and went to the download you suggested which was to the right of{Epson Stylus R300 5.5A}.I clicked on it two different times,waited awhile then went back to Printers & Faxes and nothing was loaded.Do I need to click on something else.When I click on the download another window comes up and says will be loaded in 3 seconds then it goes away.What do I do next. Thanks Bob

Try going to download mirror 1, or 2 and download it from them. Those are usually the main websites, where the driver "actually comes from"

rexrob

I clicked on 1st which I think read mirrow external and it installed but after it was done this window came up Win Zip asking what I wanted to do ---unzip, close,etc I was afraid to clik on anything for fear of screwing it up,so then I checked to see if printer icon was there and it was`nt.I feal we are getting closer THANKS Bob

Okay, now try the same download, but within a clean system. Delete your current download and disconnect ALL internet cables. If you are running on wireless, disable your wireless adapter through network connections. After doing so, follow these steps:

Go to Start
Click Run
Type in "MSconfig" and click Ok
Goto the startup tab and click Disable All
Then goto the Services Tab
Check the "Hide all Microsoft Services" check box and then click Disable All

Click Apply, and then Close.
Afterwards Restart and retry the installation

rexrob

Done what you suggested and this is what came up---------The printer is set to port .
To use the printer on a network,change the printer as necessary????????????????

techpro5238

Is the printer viewed or installed? Also if it is goto:

Start
Run
Type "MSconfig" and click Ok
Then bubble in Normal Startup

rexrob

Still no icon loaded from printers and faxes.At one time when I was going thru with the last set of instructions a window came up with two styles,one had more numbers after the R300 and it was highlighted and the other one was exactly what I wanted but by the time I could read it it went away?????????????????

rexrob

I am quite sure I got a CD with the printer to load it when I bought it but I can`t find it
no were.Is there any where I can [BUY,BEG,BORROW or STEAL] a CD to load this thing
I feel I am clicking on the wrong thing at times and screwing everything up.

Again I want to thank you for all your help Bob

techpro5238

Try downloading and installing from this website:

http://printers.free-driver-download...s-2000-XP.html

And follow the same steps that I had given for removing the internet cable and doing a clean startup. then follow the same steps to put everything back to normal startup.

rexrob

The way I read that is DRIVERS ALERT meaning I am already loaded,it brings you up to date and 30 days free trial then $30.00 for a year

techpro5238

Try downloading it from the last website I recommended (Softpedia)

Follow the same steps to clean boot, install, and normal boot.

rexrob

I took printer and puter to local puter shop,half hour later thay called and everything is now working great,brought it home and thay were right
Thanks for your help and fast responses.Over & Out Bob
