Win XP prints w/ Epson drv. but not w/ Piezo drv.

Win XP prints w/ Epson drv. but not w/ Piezo drv.

2001-11-04 by Ruhrfoto/Bernd L.

This is cross-posted with the piezo list, - got no aswer yet, so 
here it comes again:

Fellows,
I just installed Windows XP with Piezo 5.1, than 
updated to 513 and the new paper profiles.
The Piezo plug-in showed up in PS with the supported printers 
(3000 and 1160). 
I could print through the Piezo driver several times, but than 
without having changed anything nothing happens if I hit the print 
box.
I deleted the piezo software and reinstalled it, same problem. 

Printing is no problem with the Epson driver.
Any suggestions appreceated.
Thanks 
Bernd

Sorry, was my fault.

As I have two 1160s  which Win XP recognized as "new 
hardware" - two 1160 printers were installed by the system. To 
make a difference between them I renamed the printers in the 
System Folder. So the plugin didn´t find them (though PS did). 
Since I renamed them again, I´m able to print through the piezo 
driver.

So don´t rename your printers........

PS 4Paul, 
I´m sorry, but it does not seem possible to run an 1290 with the 
new WinXP 1280 driver (what was possible with WinME)
