Print stream does not go into spooler - Cannot print to Epson Stylus Color 880 Options

[Guest_Derrick Price_*]

I have two printers on LPT1 connected via a Belkin switch: a Lexmark 4037-5E and an Epson Stylus Color 880. The Lexmark uses the Laserjet II driver and the Epson uses the IBM OMNI driver.

I can print to either printer from all my applications except PMVIEW. Printing to the Lexmark works fine from PMVIEW but when I try to print to the Epson, nothing appears in the Epson spooler (and so nothing prints). PMVIEW also works fine with the FxPrint driver for PMFax.

I have deleted and then re-installed the two hardware printers using Selective Install and, after rebooting, both printers appear correctly as options on the printer selection dropdown menu but still PMVIEW will not print into the Epson spooler.The Lexmark is set as the default printer.

I am using PMVIEW 2.32 under Warp 4.52.

Can you please help?

Many thanks

I just finished installing a fresh copy of WSeB (Warp 4.5) w/ FP3 (build 14088) and the Epson Stylus Color 880 driver from the WSeB CD. (BTW, what is the Warp 4.52 version you're using? My WSeB w/ FP3 here reports itself as version "4.5").

Unfortunately I can't reproduce the problem here. Printing flawlessly spools the print data. I can view the printed image when I double-click on the file in the printer object.

Reinstalling PMView won't help unless you first uninstall it so that all registry keys are deleted. It is probably easier to use UniMaint/IniMaint and delete all the "Print" keys under "PMView 2.0". Please try this. (Stop PMView first, delete the keys, then restart PMView again).

Thanks,
