Digital BW, The Print

I was blisfully printing over the weekend.
Then 2/3's of the way through a long print inktone dropped off, as 
though it wasn't exposed enough.

Today I get a communications error message (& don't know how to 
resolve it).

Clues?

Using Win98se, 1270 via USB to it's own slot direct to tower, with 
MIS VM inks.  Also have a C80 attached to it's own slot in the tower -
 tried turning that off and printing but to no avail.

TIA,

Cleavis

Went into my computer/printers/1270/properties/details and guess it 
had switched itself somehow from EPUSB2 to 1 and had communication 
error.  Put it on EPUSB2 (EPSON Sytlus Photo 1270) and it's humming 
away...don't know it I've lost (temporarily) the C80 now though.

Thanks,
Cleavis

Cleavis,

I had a communications error about a week ago. It
would either start to print, then stop in the
middle and not continue, or it would not even
start the job. I called Epson, and they had me
uninstall the driver and then manually remove all
of the leftover files. I reinstalled it fresh
again and it resolved the issue... so far. I had
the same issue about a month ago and I did the
same thing to resolve it (but the first time I
did not manually delete all of the leftover
garbage after the uninstall). Hopefully this will
work.

I've had the same problem on several occasions on both a 1280 and a
1270. Uninstalling and reinstalling a fresh driver has always solved the
problem. I seem to experience this most when I try to stop a print in
progress\ufffddoesn't seem to like that.
