I encountered a problem with my Epson R2400 on a Windows XP Pro computer.
My print didn’t complete, a few inches at the bottom wasn’t printed. Well, since it was a test, I didn’t care that much. After some editing I wanted to print another page, but nothing happened. The printer didn’t start and I could see in the pop-up printer-window ‘finish’ the job within a second (the blue progress bar). I tried some new attempts, but failed (I heared the printer a few seconds). If I remember correctly, I saw once the error message: “Unable to connect printer”.
I rebooted, checked all cables, but nothing seems to help. I can see the ink status, so I guess the printer is connected to the computer.
Fortunately I could print when I changed in the properties – Advanced window:
“Spool print documents …” to “Print directly to the Printer”
What has happened, and how can I correct it?
