Have you checked if the printer cable is connected properly ?
there are 2 possible causes for this error to pop up.
1st : The software you are using to print, has not selected the printer as default. you can disconnected the usb cable and re-connect. If this does not work, Try and check if you can print from any other application like word, excel or notepad.
2nd : The Printer drivers are deleted and you may need to reinstall the software/drivers Uninstall and reinstall the software and it should work.
Or Finally 3rd solution is you can just turn off the printer and PC and turn on and try to print
If the computer will not print to your printer, and this just happened, re-check the software or reinstall the software for this printer on your computer.
Sometimes the software will get corrupted and needs to be installed.
Other areas one will need to know is;
How old is the printer. New vs Old.
How old is the the software being used, is it for XP, Vista (32 bit vs 64 bit)
Reinstall the drivers from the manufactures website, they have the latest drivers for the printer.
In the properties area of the pritner, a print copy should print out, if it does not there is still a connection issue with the computer and printer.
Most times the software is not on the computer correctly and cannot connect with the printer.
Try this and see how it works. It is hard to tell what the problem is without knowing more about what exactly is happening.
Hi, I understand that you need to uninstall the software and reinstall, could you please downlaod the following Drivers from HERE and let me know if this fixes the problem. Please Select the correct Operating System and download.

Driver could be corrupt. Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off.
I'd do both and reinstall the CD software program that came with
the printer. When the software program asks you to connect the
printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud
If you are using Internet Explorer 6, you would need to download and install the Epson Web-To-Page Utility for you to be able to successfuly print from the Internet. Otherwise, you might to give Adobe a call just to properly uninstall the Adobe software (clean uninstallation) just to isolate the issue, if uninstalling and reinstalling the Adobe software and Epson printer driver doesn't help this maybe a case wherein you need to contact Microsoft or Apple since its considered an OS Issue.
Most USB printers need to have the printer driver installed before you connect the printer to the computer, did you install the printer this way?
Also, check and see if it is the default printer.
If those do not work:
1) Turn off the Terminate and Stay Resident programs MSCONFIG in VISTA. 2) Disable HP device discovery service. 3) Uninstall the All-In-One software. 4) Turn off firewall and antivirus. 5) Reinstall the latest software for the All-In-One. Hope this helps.
