Epson 1280 printer not shared in XP Mode

I just upgraded from Vista 32 to Win 7 64 (clean install) with only a few problems (love Win 7!)  but I'll limit this post for a particular problem:

I have two printers installed: HP Laserjet 1020 and Epson 1280 ink jet. I have CreataCard installed in XP Mode and it works fine. In the USB tab, I left the printers in sharing mode (both present, the HP is labeled with its full name, the Epson is labeled with only "USB Printer" - perhaps an idea of the problem?)  I can print on printer HP of CreataCard but not for the Epson printer. If I first start XP Mode and exit the "USB Printer" sharing mode, then CreataCard can print on it (an extra step).

Additional information: the Epson printer is not displayed on the page "Devices and printers" and yet it appears in the print dialog box when you print a document directly from an application Win 7.

I have CreataCard on the Windows 7 Desktop icon and it launches CreataCard full screen just the way I want it - and - it prints right out of the HP printer without intermediate action by me. I would like the same capacity for the Epson printer.

Question: What can I do to allow the use of the Epson printer in XP-Mode programs sharing mode?

Thanks, Bob423

PS, in system Informaton - printer, the Epson 1280 appears on the port USB002 and made the right description, ' Epson Stylus Photo 1280 (M). Printers HP LaserJet appears on the port USB001. When I try not to print with the Epson printer in share mode (labeled as "USB Printer" in the dialog USB but corrected labeled as Epson 1280 in the CreataCard printer dialog box) I get an error message "Epson Status Monitor 3: Communication error". To get rid of him, I have to start the Task Manager and stop the Epson Status Monitor application.

Well, I found the answer! The Epson 1280 was not assigned a port TS in XP Mode even if the HP printer has been (TS001). The solution was to open the "printers and faxes" in XP Mode, click on "Add a printer", click 'Next', "Local printer attached to this computer" option but be sure clear a check mark (if any) in "automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer", then click on 'Next', under "use the following port", select one of the ports of TS. Because on my computer port TS001 has been used by the HP printer, I selected the TS002 port, then click on 'Next', select your printer driver and install. Just for good measure, I allowed the printer to share, but I don't think it was necessary. The printer will now appear in the "Printers and faxes" page as "Ready", which he did not before. The HP printer has always appeared as "Ready". The programs I run in XP Mode can now print to the printer Epson on TS002 without having to "join" the printer from the USB tab at the top of the window of the XP Mode. I've seen other messages that you may need to try trial and error to find the ports TS used by Win 7 to share printers in XP Mode. I only had a single printer to match, but if you have several printers with the same problem, it can be tedious but you only to have for once. There is no indication in the window "Select a port" as to what Win 7 printer is assigned to what TS port, you have to guess and try to print a test page to see if you guessed correctly. Of course, if the manufacturer has successfully written the driver Win 7, you wouldn't have this problem (the Win 7 HP for the 1020 driver worked perfectly, the Epson driver was listed as Vista 64-bit, not having said anything about support for Windows 7).

I always get a communication error of the Epson Status Monitor when sending a print job to the printer, but then begin printing and I can then simply X out the Status Monitor window without problem. I guess it takes a few seconds before the communication is established and the Status Monitor allows not enough time. So I still an extra step of X on the error window, but all still prints (even if I don't have X window) - so I'll take that as a step forward.

Now I can now put a shortcut to the CreataCard program on my Win 7 desktop that will automatically open in XP Mode with no further action required by me (except X'ing by the Status Monitor error window when you print a job). The next task is to find how to prevent the error window Status Monitor to come.

I guess that progress.

  • Printer not responding do not unless in administrator mode

    I am only able to print one page of 'test' if I choose Run as Admin and choose Properties and print test page... If I just choose properties without choosing run as Admin, it will not print a test page and I can't print anything else at all... Help, please!

    Go to start / Control Panel / Printers and click on properties (by means of run as Administrator option if needed).  This time, click the sharing tab and make sure that the printer is shared with everyone and give it a share name (you should be able to use the same name but it does not really difference) and full sharing of other measures to make it accessible to everyone.  I don't know if it will work, but I guess it's worth a try.

    Go to start / Network and Sharing Center / Center network and Sharingg / add a printer.  Locate the printer we talk on the network and follow the steps to add under a different name (or you can use the same name-it will just create another icon of the printer with (2) next to him).  See if the same problem occurs when you create the printer using this method instead of this one.  I hope that this solves the problem (but I have my doubts, of course).  You are an administrator too?  If so, try to use your account to do instead of sound to see if it makes a difference.

    I hope this helps.  Sorry the other options do not work - I've never seen a printer need to run as administrator to function before and I don't know how to put in place of the to do even if I wanted to do.  I'm thinking about all possible options that I imagine is that it originally and I honestly don't know.  I quickly run out of ideas.

    Good luck!

  • My printer just does not work in safe mode. I have Windows vista.

    My computer keeps closing, the blue screen of death coming up next, then it exports.  I can not restore because cannot me whille in safe mode.  I am trying to print some documents in safe mode, and it does not allow me.  It is said that it does not recognize the printer.  Any suggestions on how I can get my printer to work.  I have not found what is the cause of blue screen of death.  It's a dell computer and after paying $ 50 to help out, there me no where.  I'm back a square.

    You cannot use the printer mode without failure. Copy documents and other files you need to a USB key or external hard drive. I can't help you on the stop the down without knowing the text of the Stop (blue screen) error. Offhand, it sounds like a faulty hardware, but without knowing anything further is just a guess.

    Right. Try this. When you are in the print PSE window, go to layout, make sure it is set for your printer model and choose the option without borders for the size that you want there. Is that is chosen in the PSE dialog box change to account for that?
