Incomplete print with Epson C44+

[binky]

I've recently re-installed an Epson C44+ inkjet (along with the latest
updated drivers) back onto an XP system. In the past I have sucessfully
printed full page (A4) colour prints with no problem. I tried this again
recently to find that the printer ejected the incomplete print as though it
had finished. There was still about 75% of the print to go until completion.
The utility that runs at the same time on screen to show progress and ink
volume etc, showed about 7 mins printing time left and the progress bar was
about 25% through. This occured with the older driver too. I haven't altered
any of the settings except the print quality (changed to Photo RPM from
Normal). Any suggestions welcomed.

Test page printed ok.

Binky.

A definite sign of corrupted drivers.

Make sure the location where the spooler is located has enough space to
spool the image or page. The area in XP OS is usually the C drive. The
drive area needs to not being competing with scratch disks (like in
Photoshop) or virtual emery on the same disk patrician, and the free
area should be contiguous (not broken up into small pieces, so defrag
your drive. That will usually resolve it.

A super-size pat on the back and a general all over good feeling for as long
as Cari can make it last.

Missed it... sorry Art... had to go and help hubby with a new van! (on the
grounds that he can't drive two vehicles at once!)

Sorry you missed the call. But I suppose getting a new car is as good
an excuse as any. But you really do have to teach him how to drive with
one hand and one leg in each car, however!

I hope you enjoyed your prize of "A super-size pat on the back and a
general all over good feeling" but don't let it get to your head ;-)
