?problems printing from certain browsers

[Guest frogliver]

On my laptop with Vista Home Premium I had not used any physical printers or

 

their software, but did use a few print-to-pdf programs for printing to

 

files.

 

 

 

Recently I installed (a)software so it could access two (identical)Epson

 

printers I have always used with my PC. All of the printing goes well as

 

long as I print from a Windows Explorer file with Notebook-type apps, and

 

probably Irfanview as well.

 

But when I am online with IE7 or Firefox and click to print something from a

 

webpage nothing works, not even my print-to-pdf anymore -- instead I get an

 

error saying the browser IE is shutting down and in Firefox the screen goes

 

diffuse and locks --"Windows is looking for the problem."

 

 

 

However, with the Avant browser everything prints normally to file or to

 

paper.

 

 

 

Apparently the problem is with IE and Firefox as far as it has shown, and I

 

need those browsers to print. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
