I've recently had loads of customers who have bought these printers reporting problems withs out of paper errors and communication errors.

It was after the third call the pattern emerged !

They all had scanners. It would seem that the new Epson drivers hate it if you have a scanner installed and throw up all sorts of errors.

The solution ?

Uninstall all Twain drivers and scanner software.

Uninstall Printer

Reboot

Reinstall Printer

Reboot

Reinstall Scanner

Success

This problem seems to paticulary affect Plustek Scanners
