This is an interesting puzzle. Epson 660, 760, and 860 printer drivers won't print with
any of our programs. The programs send the data to the Windows print manager. The Epson driver flashes the tray icon, but won't print. It isn't the printer. Load the Epson 640/740/840 driver, and it works fine.
Epson tells us to contact the printer manufacturer in Taiwan who made the driver. They don't reply. When customers call Epson support, they tell them to use the 640/740/840 drivers.
There is simply no way we know of to control the printer driver after we
send the data to it.
I'm sorry for the trouble, we're trying to get to the bottom of it. For now, you can load the Epson 640/740/840 drivers and use that. The only drawback we've heard of in doing that, is that it doesn't monitor the ink level.
You can have both drivers loaded, pointing to the same port. Then you can switch between them by clicking in the Printers screen.
I wish we had a better answer. We've never had a problem like this before.
