Re: Printing Error Question



Are you printing to a FILE: Port? USB001 is a file to the spooler, the
system takes it from there.

Error when printing from programs:
"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another
process."

The error message when printing test page from the printer properties is
the
same, except that it says that the test page failed to print.

Printer in question is an Epson Stylus CX3810: Scanner, copier, and
printer.
It scans and copies just fine. It will print it's own test pattern from
the
controls on the printer... it just wont print from the computer. This
makes
me think something might be wrong with the spooler in Windows 2000, but I
don't have enough experience with things like this to make a definitive
conclusion.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the printer and it's software package
with
the same results. I've also gone to the Epson website for the most up to
date
drivers.

Is there a file I can extract from the Windows 2000 CD that will fix this?
Or is there something else I can try?

Any feedback and information will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
