Thanks Yves. The new driver automatically uninstalls the old one on the
Epson. I haven't changed the driver on the HP because that doesn't seem to
be the problem. I can't believe that drivers on both printers would fail
simultaneously in the same way. The test page on the HP also gives the
wrong colours for the Windows Logo. At the moment, the Epson is still only
printing garbage.
