Howdy
I found an office supply place who also sold printers/scanner/copiers (allin one). They had spec sheets in frames for each, and I found more than one which could run on win98SE,..no earlier tho.
Went to a larger electronics place which sold printers etc and selected an end of run Epsom CX5500 (2007 model).
I set it up and tried the next USB port and error message "cant communicate with USBPRNT1). Checked Epsoms copy function and all OK. The thing appears to be working.
Tried removing the new KB. reinstate the old one with the 1/4" circle plug/ This left the 2 USBs unused. Plugged Epsom into USB-1 reran the install CD, all OK, but when tried to print it still cant communicate with USB port. Appreciate any ideas on this,....Jason |

Need specs for computer - make and model
You might try this: Make sure the device is NOT connected when installing the software, wait until it prompts you or restarts. Since you have already installed the device, remove and uninstall, and retry using this suggestion.

Frank, I downloaded the first program (UVCView) and it worked well, It identified the USB port number one, was connected to the Epson. No further news on the printer. I tried another cable (A connector to USB), but no change.

You've proved that the hardware is communicating OK. UVCView doesn't require any device drivers to be installed, so it looks like a software issue. I'd be trying what MEB suggested.
Otherwise go to Start -> Settings -> Printers, r-click your Epson, select Properties -> Details, and look for any problems.

Done. The port comment indicates the Epson, but has an in brackets note saying "device is not connected". I'll mess around for a while then if nogo, I'll try MEB's suggestions,
