I'm connected with a USB. I re-installed the XP SP2 driver with the printer
not attached until it was called for. It didn't change the outcome. The
printer prints a test page when not connected to the laptop.
I checked to see if double sided was selected in Print Shop. It wasn't. I
put the two sided attachment on and printed that way. It still printed the
square number of copies. My guess is that the Vista "non-full-featured"
driver is causing the problem on the non-Vista compatible printer and Print
Shop. I'm guessing this because it happened with the Forum Lady's Epson,
also not Vista compatible.
