Never had this happen ever before, so I am Stumped.....
Uninstalled, ReInstalled so many Times it's got me Beat....
I got lots of Different Paint/Photo Progys, but Mostly use only these....ACDSee5, Thumbs Plus5, Irfanview, iPhotoPlus4 (a good oldie)...All have been Working Brilliantly, BUT, this week ACDSee & Irfanview and Photoshop7 has REFUSED to PRINT Photos....
I get this in a Box...."Printing Failure-The Operation Completed Successfully" i click OK n Get this......"There was an Error Writing to EPUSB1" then the Box will flash on n off....
ACDSee is my Fav Progy n need it to Print my Photos cause it does it good....So Has ANYONE got a Solution, Does AnyOne Know what's causeing This......PLEASE HELP!! LOL
Might be another REFORMAT comeing Up...If So then its over to WinXP.......So a Solution would be great....

EPUSB1

Looks like theres a conflict or missing printer on your USB port.
Have you tries removing and reinstalling the printer in printer properties?
Recheck that you are printing to the correct printer and that it is via the correct port i.e/ USB within printer properties.

Hi, Printer Prints in "Thumbs Plus5" and "PhotoPrinter" and "iPhotoPlus4" so there be nothing wrong with the EPUSB1 drivers...If it was the Drivers then it would not print anything....
Thats whats got me Stumped, Gazzumped.....
It Just Wont Print in the other Progys for some UnKnown Reason..

OK go into ACDSEE and select FILE/PRINT IMAGES and select the properties of the default printer and try printing a staus sheet or nozzle check etc and see if it gives any errors.

Hi 104456, Thanks once again for replying.....
Done all that my friend, No Errors whatsoever...I have done the Obvious, that's why I'm stumped....I have never failed to solve a Print problem, that is untill now...
I know there is nothing wrong with the printer cause its printing photos...Now if it was just only one program "ACDSee5" that was refuseing to print, then I would say that program has become corrupt, lets Un-Install n Re-Install...But its a couple of programs thats doing it, n I've done the Re-Installs, still the same...
I have taken out 'Office 2000' & 'Quicktime6' just incase it was one of them causeing it...Not that either......
Only other thing I can think of is the New 'ZoneAlarm' or 'Nortons Utilities 2003' Got a Sneeky feeling its the New ZoneAlarm cause I've been haveing silly odd problems since installing it and I've failed to solve em because I've not come across them before..
It's Thanks to Peeps on hear that these new probs have been solved...I got WinXP, only installed it once, then took it out cause my Printer software dont work with it, Printer works but no progy to see how much ink is left......Very Tempted to put it back in...
Can't afford new printer at moo, spent out since xmas..LOL..
Gona give it one more day to see if it can be solved, if not its a Re-Format once again.....Grrrrrrrrrrrr..
Catch ya Later, regards, Dennis...

Hmm...........odd one,sounds like a buggy dll or registry key somewhere.
I had problems with ZA Pro too but with security settings having to be altered after upgrading to get the same access for programs they had before.
Have you tried it without ZA active and perhaps in safe mode?
If you had XP you could have tried system restore and took it back a few days.
The only alternative perhaps is to take the registry back a few days it might save a reinstall.
