I have the latest driver for this printer and never had this problem prior to using PM. This suggests to me it is PM-related. In troubleshooting I forced the Epson driver to the top of the extensions list to load first but it didn't help. Actually, I've used this printer since my OS 7.6.1 days but the previous driver didn't allow this printer to function when I upgraded to OS 8.1 so I had to retire it until I discovered they came out with a new driver which enabled the printer in my subsequent OS 9.1. Dusted off the old printer, installed the new driver and was good to go, until now. I know little about ports, but have a suspicion it may be port-connected. Remember - the printer is on, functioning perfectly (but not being used at the time), I launch PM and the printer immediately gets a signal from PM and starts printing a garbage page all by itself and requires a factory reset to function properly once again. I did not send a print job to it. Something in PM is communicating to the printer. No other app I have ever used has caused this to occur. Thanks for your help! As an additional query, could someone test print a PM email with v4.2.1 just to see what happens? It occurs to me that using a printer while doing email may not be a common occurence (I can't recall ever doing it, myself) and this would be a way to determine if it is, in reality, my printer driver or the problem exists within the 4.2.1 code.
