Epson Stylus Photo R 220 printer not working!
« on: March 31, 2010, 09:24:15 AM »
Since some updates,all my printer does is print solid black on page, no text just solid black! My brother uses another type Epson and his printer is not working either! not the same problem as mine, but not working! I plugged my printer in a windows laptop and it worked fine!! Hope this gets fixed soon!!
Thanks

Don't feel alone, My Epson CX4800 is doing the exact same thing since the last update. So far there has been no work around.

My R200 is working perfectly.  It was detected correctly, and I didn't have to interfere or tweak anything.

GeForce7050-M, Athlon 64x2, 4Gb, SATA Maxtor 320Gb.
Vid card GeForce 7300SE
Running a 23" HP monitor.

I have a usb DX8450 printer/scanner combo, scanner is fine but printer same as above. Also since recent updates Iv found that smb4k wont umount my shares and causes my /home to hang on shutdown/reboot.
