Cannot print from the web...can print from notepad or wordpad since

Using Firefox well over a year with a Lexmark printer. Switched to an Epson printer yesterday and used the Epson install disk as instructed. Tried to print 2 different items from the internet tonight and got a msg that the printer could not communicate with the PC. Called Epson who had me print a test om Notepad and print it. Printed fine. Epson said it is not a problem with the printer but rather a conflict with Internet Explorer (which I no longer use at all). Can you advise. The Epson shows as Default in my control panel and I have disconnected and reconnected my USB cable, the printer power cable and have restarted my PC.

Bob please remove your Email address, there are spam bots that cruse forums looking for things like that. Also what starts here ends here, if other people are having this issue and the answer is not here it won't be very helpful.
Removing printer:
Unplug the printer from your computer. Go to "Start" and open "Devices and Printers". In here you will find your printer. Right click the icon and tell it to "Remove Device"
When the Printer is removed restart Windows and be sure the printer is not available.
At this point plug the printer back in and turn it on Win7 should hunt down a driver for it that works. Remember the word "works" just because Win7 found a driver and installed it doesn't mean it is the greatest driver.
Epson is one of the original designers of printers I would be shocked if they did not have the driver you need right on the Web. That being said, that is where Win7 would receive the driver. BUT Win7 is going to pull from a pool of drivers based on what they get back from pinging your printer, they will pull what is said to work by the printer builder, it would be up to the printer builder to keep the pool up to date.
So once you are up and running you may want to go to Epson and search that out. The proper Epson driver may give you options Win7 won't know about.

  • C410a won't to mac with OSX 10.8 but is accessible from the web server or from older OSX

    The c410a has ceased to behave with Mountain Lion.  The newer OS machines can still access via the embedded web server, but no other way.  Older mac running Lion has no issues
    Since I recently upgraded Norton on the newer machines, I suspect that may be an issue.
    This question was solved.

    What router?
    Why are you using Norton?  There is no such thing as a Mac virus and until there is....

  • When I print from the web, the print is blue ink, which I don't want and can't read. When I print from Word, it is black ink. What is the problem?

    If I print an article downloaded from the web, it prints in blue ink, which is almost not readable. If I download it to Word or print a document stand alone in Word, it prints in black ink, which is what I want. I didn't have this problem before I upgraded to the new Firefox. Please help.
    Thanks

    I should also point out that when I connect my iPhone, it DOESN'T appear as a connected drive on the desktop. Not sure how this can be so, since the iPhone also has a drive and also functions as an iPod if I want it to. I must have changed some setting to achieve this non-appearance, but don't remember what I must have done.
    What's the secret?

  • Can I take a video clip from the web & put it in a keynote 5.3 presentation?

    Greetings,
    hope someone understands keynote 5.3 better than I do. 
    Can I take a video clip from the web & put it in a keynote 5.3 presentation?
    If so, could you give me a few tips on how to do it?
    Many thanks,

    Not all video from the web can be downloaded, the owner or the website may have prevented this.
    I will not describe how to download as doing so may be illegal, but you can Google and read what is and not possible.
    Once a file is downloaded legally, the file must be a Quicktime file, drag and drop the file onto a slide.

  • How to Run Oracle Reports from the web.

    How can we run Oracle Reports from the web - for example from a portal such as "Gateway"
    This is a univeristy that implements Banner - so can we run them from within Banner?

    Yes, of course. And for running the reports-server you need an OAS. Maybe here is a good starting point http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html

  • Can't print from the web

    no matter what i do i can not get any part of a web page to show up in "print preview" and therefore I can not print from the web.  Using an HP Officejet Pro L7580 All in one, running Vista 32 bit, and IE 9. Have already uninstalled and reinstalled printer, drivers, etc.  Any ideas?

  • Pages, downloaded from the web, beyond the 1st page appear 50% reduced when printed. How can I resolve this?

    How can I resolve a recent printing problem I'm experiencing regarding downloads from the web where pages beyond the 1st page appear 50% reduced when printed or lines of type at bottoms of pages are missing?

    David,
    Thanks for the reply. I wish I could tell you that your suggestions solved my problem - they didn't.
    I've deleted the affected printer, then added the printer again; I've reset the printing system, then added the printer again; I've downloaded printer drivers, deleted the affected printer, then added the printer again.
    I plan to contact hp later this week for further assistance as you suggest.
    My printer is a hp OfficeJetPro L7590.
    I've enclosed screen shots illustrating the situation.

  • I have no Canon toolbar so I can't print from the Web on my printer

    I have a Canon MG5120 multi-printer and when on Firefox the only thing that prints from the web is the time and date border, not the main body of whatever I'm trying to print, like an email or online article. I'm running XP, and I have the Canon toolbar on IE.

    Try to reset the print prefs. See:

  • Duplex Printing from the web with a Macintosh

    I have a MacBook Pro running OSX.5.8 and an HP printer Photosmart C309a.  I have not been able to use duplex printing from the web.  Any suggestions on how I can achieve this?  It's the reason I bought this particular machine.

    File > Page Setup = '''Scale'''
    Scale controls the size of what is printed.

  • I need to print from the web. I cant, Why?

    I have the latest version of Firefox. Now I cant print from the web. I need to print Bank and legal documents in PDF format and now since Firefox upgrades itself, I cant print. Why?
    I have to install and use IE. I have not used IE for over 10 years. When are you going to fix this. Can I go back to an older version of Firefox without loosing my Favorites? I use Windows7 Pro, I have a HP printer.
    This is my second time for writing about this problem.

    Worthless. But thanks for taking absolutely no time to understand the initial complaint. Should you decide to do more than a quick forum search, the initial complaint is about a sudden inability to print to PDF. It's is NOT about printer issues.
    But, again, you've already done so much. Don't trouble yourself. You either, Mozilla.

  • Firefox crashes when printing from the web.

    Mac user with OS 10.4.11 (Tiger). Have had repeated problems with Firefox in all versions crashing when trying to print from the web or using print preview before printing. Currently have Frefox v3.6.16 for MAC. Am printing to an HP 1315 AIO and HP 1210 AIO printers. Very irritating! Can copy paste web stuff to Word and print OK. Problem went away with OS 10.6 and Firefox 4 on my new MAC.

    Inconclusive Evidence, I have tried all of your recommendations with no success. I can print with any other applications, just not Firefox, so I know it is not a problem with my driver. I'm stuck as to what to do at this point. Any other tips? Thanks for your help!
