Maybe a driver from Epson. There is one for the 300+ but not for the 300. There are
support documents as well on the Epson site.

My printer worked fine last year. But after not using it
for a long time, I found out yesterday that my computer
cannot detect the printer anymore.

So I tried to fix the problem.

First, I went to the "Add Printer" folder and removed the
installed printer driver. Then I used the "Add New
Hardware" in the Control Panel to automatically detect my
printer.

It couldn't, so I manually selected the hardware (printer)
from a list. I used Epson LX-300 (the printer I have) and
it installed okay. But when I tried to print a test page,
the message I got was "Windows unable to print test page".

So I removed Epson LX-300 driver and used a generic/text
only printer. I was able to install it too but still, it
couldn't print a test page.

======

On the other hand, I was able to print a text file from
the MS-DOS command prompt using the same printer.

copy c:\windows\testfile.txt lpt1

This command copies the file's contents to the printer.

What do you think is the problem?
