Windows XP, SP1
Using drivers as delivered with XP-SP1
Printers:
Epson C80 connected via USB
HP OfficeJetPro 1150C connected LPT1
Problem:
Whenever I print on the Epson, after it's done, it looks like two (or
more) control characters are sent to the HP printer, which prints a page
containing two characters, a "happy face" and right-pointing triangle.
Following this, the Epson printer is unavailable (any application -
Word, Notepad, Wordpad, etc.) attempting to print to the Epson freezes
with the "now printing" msg displayed. The HP printer can be used, as
can any printer accessible through the network.
If they are available, I haven't been able to find any updated drivers
for either printer.
Any thoughts? All input gratefully appreciated.
BTW - Who created (or is responsible for) the XP printer drivers - the
printer mfrs. all say "drivers are included with XP" and seem to have
wiped their hands of the matter.
