I don't know where you bought the c4280 6 days ago; perhaps you should
go back there for support (or return). As near as I can tell from the
HP site, that's a discontinued product (which squares with the recording
you received). According to cNet, the c4280 was released in May 2007.
With the pace of consumer electronics these days, it's not surprising
that it's been discontinued and replaced. Yes, it's annoying that HP
doesn't offer phone support for a product that came out only 19 months
ago, but what do you expect for a low-end AIO?

Windows error messages are not always as clear as mud. What other
applications are running when you try to print from Works?

driver, so I'm not sure where you were looking) --

It is not for XP computers and it has nothing to do with sending faxes from XP. If you unshare it, you will not be tempted to use the files inside that folder. They will not help you.

Second, on your 2008 server, change the fax service to use the local system account. It defaults to the Network Service account. I am willing to bet this one step solves 90% of the peoples problems. Restart the service after making the change.

If your XP clients are not at least SP2, stop reading this now and go update them.

Third, on your XP client PC, login with a user who has local admin priv. Go to control panel, add/remove programs. Click on add/remove windows components and make sure you *uncheck* Faxing.

Fourth, have your XP cd handy or make sure you have the I386 folder somewhere. Browse to your 2008 server and double click on the shared Fax printer. Windows should now install the faxing componet your just removed in the previous step. If you are forced to install a modem, just do a generic on any port for now.

Finally, go to printers and faxes and remove any fax printers that may be listed except the one shared from your fax server. Then open the fax console and see if it says connected in the bottom right. Or, click on tools, and choose fax printer status. It should show the server as online.

If you still have problems, check to make sure the permissions you set on the fax printer are correct. The user account you are testing may not have permission to use or manage that shared fax printer.

These were to replace old HP1100 series printers. All of our machines are
SP2 with Office 2003 and some Office 2007. Using the newest PCL6 drivers
with these printers have caused problems with our Office 2003 users and
reverting back to the PCL 5e drivers cause a different set of problems for
our Office 2007 users. We have been round and round with HP and have no good
solution.

What we did notice was that upgrading to SP3 installs a new version of the
unidrv.dll that fixes every problem! Unfortunately, SP3 has caused problems
with some of out legacy apps and we arent able to move to it as an
organization yet.

Is there any WSUS update that will provide just this update to the
unidrv.dll for us? I heard that there was but may not be available anymore.
It would solve so many problems. The version of the undrv.dll that we
currently have on everything is 6.0.6000.16386 (vista_rtm.061101-2205). The
version that fixes everything is 6.0.6001.22127 (vistasp1_ldr.080302-0124).

From their web site for this printer:

Selected FAQ

Q: Why are all the lights on the printer flashing?
A: When all the lights flash, your printer may have an internal error.
Verify that all packing material has been removed. Instructions for removing
the packing material will be found on a notice in the box. If the printer
has not made any noises for more than five minutes, turn off the printer.
Open the cover and check for any obstructions. Power on the printer to see
if the error still occurs. If the unit still gives an error, please contact
the EPSON Connection Technical Support for further assistance.


Since this unit has been discontinued service will be expensive and if there
isn't a hung up piece of paper in the unit it is time to get rid of it and
buy another.

See if changing the print processor to winprint (Advanced tab of printer

Also look for any other "printer" software that may be opening a ref count
to the job (status monitor maybe). If you find something, stop it and see
if that helps.
