Digital BW, The Print

David,

Are you selecting the Epson 1160 printer driver (rather than the XP 1160
version) in the Printer box? There should be two 1160 printers showing up,
and you need to select the correct one. If that is OK, what about the Epson
Status Monitor? Is that installed properly?

Bob Frost.
