Printer Problems -XP&Epson Stylus Photo870

[Don]

Since installing XP Pro I have not been able to get my
printer set up. The most success I have had is that I
have produced a half page of the XP Printer Test Page,
and it seems to run out when it starts to list
the "Additional files used by this driver" list. It seems
to spool up large quantities of "gobble-de-gook" which
would use up a ream of paper if I don't get to it and
stop the process.

I had reinstalled the original disk driver for the
printer and found that was not appropriate, I uninstalled
that driver, and installed what XP had available.

Has anyone worked through this type of a problem and
resolved it? Has anyone got suggestions for correcting
the problem?

Thanks for any assistance.
Don

It seems at some point in the past the drivers have become corrupted.
Uninstall and reinstall COMPLETELY...
