epson stylus 820 not behaving in windows 2000

Hello All

I have been having issues with my epson photo stylus 820. at first it wouldnt ever print a full picture it would print a portion of the picture and then shoot the page out as if it were done printing. I read some where online where someone was having similiar problems and they had to turn off the part of the printer that communicates with the computer (like tells how much ink is left.. etc) its a check box in the preferences.

Anyway i disabled that and it now prints word documents fine however it is still just printing a portion of the pictures or even text documents from any other program and spits out the page. I have to send it to print 2 copies in order to just get 1 good copy the first one spits out messed up and then the 2nd one prints fine.

PLEASE help i have already returned this printer once this is the second one so it must be either a bug or something i have set up wrong. i am in desperate need of help.. =)

thanks much

 

Try updating the drivers,or uninstalling and then reinstalling printer. what operating system are you running?
