Title: [SOLVED] DPR-1061 not working after Windows 7 updates
Post by: hein on November 20, 2017, 02:21:41 AM

We have a DPR-1061 print server with an Epson impact printer on its LPT port. Last week all of a sudden we couldn't print anymore (from 2 windows 7 machines). Not even a windows test page. We could still reach the web interface of the DPR-1061 and a  test page therefrom came out fine.

After we removed the latest Windows 7 updates  it worked again. Can it really be a windows update which interferes with the print server?

We do not use the USB ports of the print server.

We have the same problem with printing from a windows 10 machine. Though we haven't tried to remove the latest updates there.

Has anyone an idea how to fix that?

Thanks in advance!

It seems to be a problem with some windows updates and the Epson dot matrix printers:

That solved it for us. So nothing about the D-Link print server.
