  • This Epson Stylus D68 printer.

    Epson Stylus D68 printer. Of ink and recycles bin red lights flash alternately and the printer does not. Why?

    Church salvation,

    Are these lights on the printer?

    Looks like it's maybe a problem with the printer hardware.

    You can check with Epson to see if they have a few troubleshooting steps.

  • I can't print my epson stylus c86 Windows 7 and a network in Windows xp

    I am running XP on a PC with a Epson Stylus C86 connects to the LPT1 port. When I try to print from my laptop running Windows 7, it seems to send the document to the printer, but the printer errors. Any ideas?

    Fixed it now. Had to delete the printer, then add printer and search for a network printer.

    Someone showed me how to do that was the problem themselves

  • Satellite A200 and Epson Stylus SX100 - printer, Scanner recognized not

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A200 (originally with Vista Home Basic) and re-installed Windows XP Home SP3 32-bit edition. Everything worked very well, all USB ports are ok (tested with PDA, webcams, USB drives...). I installed a multifunction Epson Stylus SX100 printer and the laptop only detected the Scanner, but not the printer.

    This multifunction printer has been tested on a non - laptop Toshiba and everything was ok. (The same drivers from the Epson web site). If I install the CD-Rom Epson, with the ease of installation, then it asks me to connect the printer (the first driver it installs). After a few minutes, the program stops installation because it can not detect the printer. If I install it manually (sending to the printer to another port), and then install the scanner. then the scanner is detected, but not the printer.
    I can't go to the properties of the printer and redirect the printer to the USB port as the port is not in the list.

    I downloaded the drivers for Satellite A200 WXp32 tips from the Toshiba web page.

    Any idea?
    Thank you

    Hello!

    Have you updated Windows with all hotfixes from Microsoft? Check the Windows Update site.

    Also try the latest driver on Epson site. Maybe they could work.

    And what's happened, if you delete the printer driver, and then connect the printer to the laptop?

    Good bye

    My old Epson printer works well with windows 7, since I've updated from windows XP. I tried to reinstall the driver to printer without success.

    "Someone told me too may mistakes that they had to take care of." I didn't, so I unplugged my PC as they had taken on my computer.

    About the error messages and giving you remote access to someone, do the following:

    You gave them remote access they may try to steal your credit card and bank information and also perform an identity theft on you.

    If you do Internet banking, contact your bank, explain, and change passwords.

    If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

    I just added my Epson Stylus CX9300F printer to my laptop Windows 7 (64-bit) and the resolution of the problems are saying that there is 'no paper' in the printer... I also use this printer with my Office Windows 10 (64 bit) - and it prints perfectly fine from this source.

    Does anyone have any ideas as to why there is this error display "paper is low or empty" on the laptop?

    Soon :)

    I suggest you try it please add the printer manually:

    Click "Start" > click "devices and printers".
    Click on "add a printer".
    Click "add a local printer.
    Click on "Create a new Port" > scroll down to "Standard TCP/IP Port" > click "next".
