Hi All,
I hope somebody out there can Help me.

Just the Last few Days, No matter what Program I Print from , the program locks up and a White Space the size of the "Print Preview", that was just there remains.

If I print a Page from Paint Shop Pro with just a Full Stop (a Dot) on it no problems. ..
But to Print a Full Page then the Full GUI is white with just the Program Header Visible and accessible, with the Mouse Pointer.....

for the Rest of the Screen (white space) the Hour Glass is there waiting for the Printing to finish. ,

I can go and open up another Program and do some other work , but if go back to the Program I'm printing from ,it's still Locked with the White Space still there.

I have run a Virus Scan and have found nothing.

I have a Free Ram indicator, in the Tray on the bottom of the Screen, that tells me I have 1450 mbs free. out of 2GB .

If I Close the Program I am printing from , sometime it stops printing immediately.
which could be ½ way through a Printing of Page.

I am using :

Windows Pro SP3
Dual Core 2 E4500 CPU
2 GB Ram.
Epson Stylus Photo R310

Has anybody any suggestions Please ?

Cheers Ron.
