Can't print on 2nd network printer

Post by Ian »

Can't print on 2nd network printer
This is annoying me, please help.

Win XP SP2
XN View 1.91.2 (just down loaded 3 Aug 2007)

I have 2 printers : old HP mono laser and Epson Colour, both on Wifi Print server.

I can select either printer in xnview, however the print only come out on the hp laser! (The default is the Espson printer)

I cannot print to the Epson.

All my other applications work fine, I can select and print to either printer with no problem

Only xnview 1.91.2 cannot print to Epson colour printer!

Previous xnview I had on my pc was fine in this respect - both printers worked.

Please help fix this problem.
XNView is an excellent utility, and I love using it. But I do need to print my colour photos from it!

Alternatively, please tell me where I can find a previous version ox xnview, example I would like 1.91.1 or older.

Thanks

I can reproduce that it always chooses the first printer in the list. (So you can get by with renaming printers, but that won't work for network printers.)

Dear Pierre,

Thank you for your response to my problem regarding not being able to print from the 2nd printer on my network.

I have only ever used 2 versions of XnView -
1.70.4 - I can print from either printer
1.91.2 - I can not print from the Epson printer.

I uninstalled 1.70.4 before I put on the 1.90.2.
But for some strange I can still use 1.70.4 if I click on the old icon on my desk top!
I can also use 1.90.2 if I click on the new icon on the start menu.

I do not know if the problem exists in 1.90.1. I have never used 1.90.1

In fact 1.90.2 is a big application, and takes a lot longer to load up on my healthy P4/2.6GHz PC. So I would prefer to use older version if I can get hold of it.

Thank you again for your help

Ian

Try installing XnView 1.91.3 and keep in mind 1.91.4 is coming real soon.
