Epson Spool Error Win98 - unable to create new spool job

[Kim Wheeler]

I just installed my Epson Stylus Color 400 on Pent 3,
Win98 computer.

When I try to print I get an error box entitled
'Epson Stylus Color 400' with error message
'Error while spooling to "". Unable to create a new spool
job.'
This error is the same when I disable the startup group
and from safe mode.

From a command prompt I can get a text print out from the
command 'dir > lpt1'. Also cannot seem to open the Spool
Manager interface to make any changes to this, although
the file 'epspmgr4' is running as per the Close Program
window.

Thanks
