Hi Till,

I tried 32 drivers (that was exciting... yawn!). I tried all of the AcuLaser ones (apart from the PS ones) and all of the AL ones. In each instance I only tried the "recommended" one. They all had the same effect except one - the C2000 which you recommended. That behaved differently to the rest. All the others either just made the data light flash or did nothing at all. The C2000 however did steps 1 and 2 in post #36. In other words prior to making the data light flash it "clicked" the internal micro-switch and powered up the LCD screen. It looked like it was about to print the test page, but then nothing happened. I therefore tried all 7 other C2000 drivers to no avail.

At what point is it sensible to give up trying this method. Should I start trying Epson drivers from other model series? Is it just pot luck rather than an educated guess?

Many thanks for your help.
