Subject: [PCBUILD] Epson Stylus CX3200


Hello All,

I recently purchased a new Epson CX3200 All-In-One printer.  While loading
the software the first time, I kept getting "Out of Scan Range" messages on
my monitor but was usually able to make that go away by pressing the space
bar.  At one point, it wouldn't go away and I had to reboot the machine.
After reloading the software again, I was able to print and copy but not
scan.  Something was amiss with Epson Smart Panel.  Everytime I clicked on
that program, it would tell me it didn't exist or pushing the scan button on
the printer caused an error message.  I e-mailed Epson a message and the
next morning, when I tried to print the message out then the print function
wouldn't work and I hadn't changed a thing.  Epson wanted me to remove all
Epson programs, load just the drivers first, then try loading Smart Panel
and 2 other programs on the CD.  I did that but now the computer can't
locate my printer.  When I tell it to continue, it finishes loading but my
printer is on LPT1 port not a USB port and won't print.  I have also gone
into printer properties and tried to manually change the port but USB is not
an option.  It originally assigned it to the USB port but now won't.  I have
removed the programs at least 7 times and tried again trying different
things but to no avail.  I have 2 USB ports and tried both ports.  I also
have another Epson LQ570+ connected to the LPT1 port and have tried deleting
it first before installing the CX3200.  I still haven't solved my Out of
Scan Range problem either.  In Device Manager, it says my monitor is unknown
and changing screen resolution didn't help.  My OS is Win98, have 256 MB RAM
and a 40 GB hard drive with 37 GB free.  Any ideas out there?  Epson has
been of no help.  Sorry to be so long winded.

Thanks
Cindy Sanderson
