Guest dobielover Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 I just installed a Canon 830 with no problem and it functions beautifully. However, now I can't get my Epson 1500 to work even though I have it set as default printer and confirm that it is the one selected for the job. After asking it to print, the printer icon appears very briefly down in the bottom right corner of my screen and then disappears. I called Canon tech assistance a little while ago and was told that I should contact Epson for assistance. I said that it worked very well this morning until installing the Canon so obviously that was the problem, not a printer malfunction. I was then told to uninstall the Canon to see if the Epson worked and if so, that it probably wouldn't work with any other printer. Strange, it worked for several years just fine with the Brother multifunction. Does this person know what he's talking about, or is he passing the buck? I would hate to have to take back the Canon as it does such a great job but I need the laser too. There doesn't appear to be a hardware conflict as one is parallel and the other USB. I would be very grateful for any ideas and suggestions.
