Hi all.
I have Windows Vista RC1 installed on my PC. The printer I use is an Epson Stylus PHOTO R300. Along with the printer drivers I also have Epson PrintCD installed. However when i attempt to print onto a printable cd from PrintCD i get a printer error. Any ideas? |

However when i attempt to print onto a printable cd from PrintCD i get a printer error. Any ideas? I'm on RC2, and having problems also. I'm using the built-in drivers, which appear to support all the necessary features, and I installed Print CD from the Epson Printer Software CD. What seems to be happening is that the driver is not telling the printer to print on the CD - it's telling it to print on paper. The printer has a "Close the CD/DVD guide" error message on its display. You can force the output media to be CD/DVD (Print.. / Printer Settings / Properties... / Pick Manual and CD/DVD), but this is an extra step that I did not have to do on XP. Vista strikes again... |

Oops, spoke too soon. The printer was making all the correct noises, so I assumed all was well. The printer missed most of the DVD. It may be possible to play around with the alignment settings to get it to work, but I don't have time right now... |

I am using an Epsom R200 with RC2, I used the Cd with the Printer and installed the drivers etc from the CD. I have everything working normally except I cannot see the Epsom monitor. CD/DVD's print normally and not having the monitor is not such an issue for now. I am sure it will be sorted by Epsom at Vista release. |
