I wanted to print a program for a play - two sheets of paper, landscape, double sided. No big deal. The Epson ET-2760 said it was out of paper. I followed the directions on the little LCD and pretended to add paper. So, here's one problem. When it thinks it's out of paper, there is no alternative but to follow the directions for adding paper. Pushing any of the ten buttons on the printer gets the reply, "Invalid." There seems to be no way out of this loop. Either it gives up on its own after showing the four required steps a dozen or more times, or I have to shut down and restart.

So, it finally realized that all that white stuff stuck down its back was paper, and it agreed to print. It quickly spat out two blank pages. I gave it another chance: two more blank pages.

I turned on the Epson ET-8500, and that worked fine. I swear, I can hear them giggling.

Jerry. In 1998 I bought a program that was made from Corel & still use it. It's called "Print House Magic". It has two disc's. Don't know if you can get one today. I tried to find out if Corel made an upgrade to that program but they never answered me. That programs does everything you want it to do out of a processing program. Besides doing processing to photos you can make greeting cards, calenders, posters & a whole bunch of others things. Had some troubles get it to work on my Windows 10 computer but finally did get it to work. If you can find one I'm sure you would love it & you can get to do everything you want to do with it. Another question I had posed to you but you never answered me. As a young kid I used to go to a bungalow colony in South Fallsberg called the Grand House. Don't know if it's still there but it was on the road to the Pines Hotel. Is that near you in the Catskills. We went there every summer when I was 7 to 11 years old. Take care.

You can still get the current version today. Or I think you can get the 1998 version for free but.... if you have a computer running the OS that supports it. Likely Windows 95/98 or NT. Possibly XP but I don't think Windows 7 and up will run it.

"The Grand House" Good question. I'm guessing it's gone because most of those old resorts have closed down, even some of the big ones.

I've heard of Fallsburg, but I'd have to use a map to get there. I just checked. It's about an hour SW of me.
