Morning all,
Just been trying to help a friend out earlier.
Epson Stylus 440 printer oldish one.
Running Windows XP Pro.
When clicking the print icon in †œword⠃¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚ the following message appears †“
No printers are installed, to install a printer, point to settings on the windows start menu, click printers and faxes, then double click add printer and follow the wizard.
After doing the above he gets a Windows error box saying †“ Operation could not be performed.
When trying to print from notepad using file then print the wizard auto launches with the following message †“
Before you can perform printer-related tasks you need to install a printer. Do you want to install a printer now choosing yes gives †“
Operation could not be performed.
Up to now we have powered the printer on and off, unplugged the cable and restarted the PC etc.
Device manager shows no problems with LPT Port the printer is on.
All was working fine until tonight.
Any ideas as ever greatly appreciated.
