Digital BW, The Print

Ken,

Something else I read was that installation of the IP driver would uncheck
the port of the Epson 1270 driver (USB or LPT1?) and put the printer on
'Pause'. So you would have to recheck the port of the 1270, untick Pause,
and recheck printer spooling and possibly bidirectional support to get the
1270 running again if it had already been installed, but if it has stopped a
fresh installation of your 1270 from working??? I had no problem in getting
my 2100 working again after uninstalling IP, or simply going back to using
the Epson driver while IP is still installed, providing I went into
Settings/Printers/Properties and rechecked all the normal Epson printer
settings. I might try installing my 2100 twice under two different names (eg
Epson 2100 and IP 2100) and let IP interfere with one and see if I can still
use the other normally.

I do like the look of the new 4000 though. It would save me having to find a
way of refilling the 2100 cartridges from some 7600 cartridges, allow
instant swapping of photo black and matte black, and if the profiles are
good enough, we might not need IP!! Hang on to your money 'till January.

Bob Frost.
