1/6/18 Windows 10 update screwed up my printing (on Epson Workforce 630)

[Stephen Weber]

Windows 10 just shoved another update down my throat on 1/6/18, and now I cannot print properly. Every time I try to print on my Epson Workforce 630, the Epson status monitor says "Page 0/0" (see attached image), whereas normally, it is supposed to say "Page <current page>/<total number of pages>". The stupid thing then just sits there. However, when I open the Epson printer queue, it says "Printing", even though it doesn't actually print.

This problem is not unique to one particular application. I tried to print a stinking 1-line notepad file containing the word "Test", and that did not work either.


Absolutely DISGUSTING. . . .

(We need to issue an arrest warrant for the Windows programmers that are coming up with these stupid "updates")

Hi Stephen,

have you downloaded the latest drivers from Epson and tried re-installing the printer?:

Or could you do a backup and restore?
