#246570 - 15/01/2005 12:58 Printer not printing right away...
burdell1 old hand Registered: 14/01/2002 Posts: 931 Loc: Minnetonka, MN	I have an Epson R300 printer and when I try to print something it doesn't print out right away. It is only after I shut off my computer and restart it, it will print. If I remember correctly, it started doing this after I updated the driver. Any ideas on what might be causing it?

Check to see if you have turned on any spooling or caching options on your printer settings. It sounds like it is printing to a spool, and when the computer is reset it sees items in the spool and dumps them accordingly. _________________________ *Paul Grzelak* 200GB with 48MB RAM, Illuminated Buttons and Digital Outputs
