Re: Windows Printer lost

[Paul Williams paulwilliams5@xxxxxxxx]

The situation has resolved itself because I had to reinstall Windows for
other reasons! 2005 is not starting very well.
It was curious because the printer (Epson Esc P2 Colour) was still listed
in Windows Printers and indeed was the default printer, while the Olifax,
also listed, was marked User Intervention Required, which was not true. And
yes, it is Windows Me, not XP, 'cos I tried to get XyWin working on my
son's (XP) computer and have not succeeded (hence another post.) I am so
used to being able to examine all the relevant files - DFL etc - I was lost
because I can't see where XyWrite gets its Windows info from. Suppose it is
from Windows itself, and that other glitch in the printers file meant
something bad and weird was happening. Anyway, that is fixed now.

Does this happen (as it would seem it does from your remark about
pressing the print icon) in other Windows apps? or only in XyWin? If in
other Win apps (or if you don't print from other Win apps, so you don't
know) first let's see what Windows thinks. I assume this is 9x not XP?
(Because if it's XP someone else will have to pick up the slack; I don't
even have access to an XP box, so I don't know where things are kept).
Click Start->Settings->Printers. Is your printer listed? IF not, it's
somehow gotten uninstalled. What kind is it? I need to know, because some
printers can be added using the Add Printer routine, but some, notably
HPs, need to run an .EXE file on their installation disk. (Which I
devoutly hope you have.)
