Re: SLOW Printing-more yet

I removed (uninstalled thru control panel) all drivers and reinstalled the
R800 (the 1520 ESC/2 reinstalled auto.) and no change.

I get a communication error from the printer status monitor, BUT the printer
does work, it is very slow to accept the command, about 1 min. for one page
of text. The status monitor seems not to function at all.

Since the printer works fine when moved to a second computer, I must assume
the printer and cable are ok.

Further, since my usb ports work for my scanner and my APC and since the
printer itself does work, then we can also assume the usb ports work.

Also, the other Epson printer, the 1520, works fine and quickly.

So it seems to me that I have a software or registry issue, but I am at the
limit of my knowledge.

Any further ideas ???

I have also uninstalled/reinstalled the printer driver with no help.
Strangely, it seemed slow to uninstall and reinstall.

There are also drivers from an older, no longer used printer (Epson 870)
that say they are uninstalling but the icon remains

I suddenly developed a slow printing problem with an Epson R800 (usb) but
the
Epson 1520 (PP) is not effected.

When the print is ordered it takes a very long time for the order to
reach
the printer. Printer then prints normally.

I have reinstalled the printer, defragged, cleaned temp files, run Norton
AV, run Spybot--cursed a bit also.

(The problem initially was that it would not print at all (only) from
Word
2000, but after the above it does. All software now exhibit the same
problem.
Print with the extreme time delay.)

Any help???
