Windows 7 Epson R300 USB Printer

[Jwheels]

I have Windows 7 OS installed.
My Epson Stylus Photo R300 is recognized by Windows 7 and is the default printer. Everything looks fine, but it will not print anything.

I requested a MS word document to print- no print. I went to the control panel – the Epson is set up as my default printer. I opened “Printer ready” and the document does not appear in the print queue.

So, I found a pic on my hard drive and sent it to the printer – It showed up in the print queue but would not print. While I was in this window I went to properties and tried to print a test page. It showed up in the print queue but would not print.

I have repeated this process on each available open USB port on my motherboard. Any suggestions.

Have you tried to see if there's a driver update needed in your device manager? That might help. Additionally, you may also want to try to uninstall, then reinstall the printer.

I have tried uninstalling the printer multiple times and searched for new drivers. Windows 7 states that the driver is current.
Will Windows 7 really remove everything about the Epson? Thank you for your response to my questions

There is a page on Microsoft's site that may be of some help. They have a page that has a troubleshooter for printers that you may want to try out: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Troubleshoot-printer-problems

This site was absolutely useless

The problem is not resolved. No one could help. This conflict with my USB printer will not be resolved unless I rebuild my PC from scratch. I do not look forward to this course of action
