I tried printing other than a photo and it did fine. This happens with both printers. Still no printing photos only. I'm downloading new software on my Epson to see if it will work.
Printers won't print photos from my computer

A few months ago I could print photos or any text from my computer. Then all of a sudden a month or so ago I couldn't get the computer to print photos from itself. I then changed to another printer and it worked for only a couple of times ,then it also wouldn't print photos. I very seldom print text but someone on here said something about whether it printed text or not. They also said to try re installing the printer. I did reinstall and it still won't print photos from the computer but will print text. Iv'e tried going through different places to print but makes no difference. It says it's printing but the printer won't do anything. This also happens on my laptop. Could it be Vista screwing with things?Could I have missed a download? My husbands laptop works fine with the same printers.

2010-03-16T17:30:15+00:00 I won't print photos off my computer. It will scan photos to my computer. This same thing happens with both my Epson and HP printers. At one time it would print from both.
