Cannot Print to Epson Stylus Printer

Last reviewed: February 26, 1996
Article ID: Q147448

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you print to an Epson Stylus printer, the Epson Spool Manager may stop responding (hang), or you may receive the following error message:

   Error: Printer Not Responding

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if you are using Epson's Stylus driver version 2.02E. In some configurations (especially over a network), the Epson spooler may not be able to communicate with the printer port.

RESOLUTION

Configure the Epson Spool Manager to use Print Manager to spool print jobs instead of using its internal spooler. For information about configuring the Epson Spool Manager, please contact Epson.
