Epson status monitor problems

I've just had to change my printer from a D68 to a D92. All works fine

and I'm sharing it OK but when my son who is running Vista prints

anything, the status monitor appears fine and shows the ink levels but

then Vista compains it's not responding even though it's printing

fine? Cancelling the message only causes it to repeat over and over

again!! Daughter running XP Media Centre on a laptop is fine and my PC

running Vista is also fine. So why does Vista complain when it uses a

network shared Epson D92 printer? The message actually says the Epson

Status Monitor 3 is not responding.

cheers,
