Somehow you've managed to corrupt the drivers.

Attempted to install Epson SC800 printer on brand new computer with
windows XP Home Edition.

Using ADD PRINTER WIZARD, chose LOCAL PRINTER, cleared the AUTO DETECT My
Plug and Play Device check box. In the MANUFACTURERS box chose Epson, In
the PRINTERS box chose Epson Stylus Color 800 ESC/P2. Test page will not
print. Printer continuously runs as long as you will let it and prints
gibberish. In the Printers and Faxes window, the printer icon shows with a
black check mark next to it. I do not know the specific problem that this
indicates.

In the Pinters and Faxes Server Properties window, the installed driver
shows as Epson Stylus Color 800 ESC/p2 version windows 2000 or XP.

Also tried installing using the add printer wizard and letting windows
auto detect. This did not work. No new hardware was detected.

Any ideas as to what is wrong? Thanks for reading this long post! I'm
really frustrated after trying to come up with a solution to this problem
for days!
