I am having all sorts of troubles printing from my Epson printer both in Windows ME and Windows XP Professional. The printer is online -power light is on. I can even do a "printer operation check " which gives me the test pattern and code W00473 and 213B with the colored test pattern lines. When I try to print from Wordpad or Notepad it won't work either. It says "printer offline" the ink lights for color or Black do not flash or are "on" at all indicating they need replacing. I cannot print from a command prompt as it indicates in the Windows XP printer troubleshooter for a non-postscript printer ECHO HELLO CTRL+L dir > lpt1 status just says "error printing" The parralled cable is connected at both ends to the printer port as always on my computer "lpt1" I cannot print a "test page" either. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the epson printer software and also removed from Device Manager the printer port and rebooted and Windows ME reinstalled the LPT1 port.. Still doesn't work !! Anyone with any insight on this problem will be appreciated.
