Yes, maybe it's time to end dot matrix for good. Really can't stand their sound at times. Maybe someone should come up with heat print head but multiple layers.

You must uninstall the Windows Update with one of the following KB entries (depending on your version of Windows 10):

KB4048955 (Windows10 Version 1709)

KB4048954 (Windows 10 Version 1703)

KB4048953 (Windows 10 Version 1607)

KB4048952 (Windows 10 Version 1511)

KB4048956 (Windows 10 Version 1507)

KB4048957 (Windows 7)

KB4048958 (Windows 8 and 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2)



I hope that its can you help

It is not hard to end dot matrix printers. It all depends on how our silly federal government manages the taxes. Forcing companies to go paperless invoice. Encourage using email or mobile phone e-invoice. Make all relevant deliver order as well be paperless. This will prevent major servicing companies to be delivering only invoice in between their service call to client office. This will also lessen traffics on the road. Save more paper resources. However in malaysia , major companies still playing this kind of mentality. Must see paper invoice then give money. Those invoice collected will stash up their room, giving load of problems to admin to shred up those invoice and throw them away. You know la , ancient chinese mentality still coded into many of this big boss mind. They purposely want you come deliver invoice then add a few task for you do before releasing the payment. Like old chinese saying , pay you few cents and want to use you do everything for them.

Calm down....Haha.
Look at the bright side, there's always job/task to do. Slowly we're moving to paperless. It'll takes time but least moving the pace

stupid windows update.. lucky found info here, uninstall the update. now ok liao

Hi all

Windows 7 can easily solve the problem by uninstall KB4048957 (walao eh, I can type this out by heart liao; no need copy-and-paste, phobia until like this). But for Windows 10 that I tried, there's an alternative way by using the driver that comes with initial installation of Windows 10.

If you go to Device Manager (you need to "Show Hidden Devices" by going View tab in the Device Manager) and see this EPSON LQ-300+ /II ESC/P-2


Step that I taken,

1) Uninstall and remove all printers in "Devices and Printers" (it's not compulsory to remove other than Epson LQ310 or LQ 590, you can leave other printers alone)

2) Open Device Manager and uninstall the drivers completely.

3) Uninstall the "Root Print Queue" (this will reset all printers)

4) "Scan for hardware changes" and wait for Window 10 auto driver installation

5) If you get Epson ESC/P V4 Class Driver (as long as there's V4), means you're good. Now test print it.

jangan macam tu boss I phobia liao :haha: tq for the stars though :

For some reason if you going to delete the current printing jobs or the system blocked you to on uninstall the printers driver (you need Printing Spool to active before uninstalling any printer drivers). You need to disable the Print Spooler in services.msc

The printing job is located in <your windows installation drive>:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS



When there is no job, it'll be nothing inside; if you got "stuck" job, there will be files inside here and you can delete it (stop the Printing Spool service first; then re-enable the Printing Spool).

Thanks bro, anyway to disable it to install back on window 10?

thank you TS for this info.

oh my thank you, I had been scratching my head whole week what went wrong!

Now alr can print, but cannot set paper size.
Exp : Custom size.

Any idea?

Parking for temporary solution

Microsoft has released new updates to fix the problem of Epson printer not printing after the 2017-11 update. Update your computers now and restart.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4055038/november-21-2017-kb4055038

There doesn't seem to be an update for Windows 10 yet.

Thanks bro. Updated 1st page with info.

Windows 8 is also covered by the recent update. Only Win 10 doesn't have the update.

wa thank you boss for your update.

Unfortunately, my company's plant is using Windows 10 Home Premium

and since it's a production type (means even 1 hour halt can contribute millions of $$ losses), they can't afford to wait it (and they did not invest in IT department; so piggy ride HQ's IT department; which in turn, our team from main HQ need to touch it). We can't change the PC since they consider as assets.

So the only way is hentam2 the PC until it print from dot matrix

Thanks. Updated info.

Good reason to buy another brand model dot Matrix. Hehehehehehehe
