Solve : Printer settings hijacked by Windows 8.1? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>My Windows 8.1 will not allow me the option to print a jpeg as anything but photo settings on my printer. I.E. it will not allow me to select plain paper or economy ink settings & will not even display those options. Any ideas as to a work around? Did you install the drivers for Win 8 ? ?Yes, all OEM drivers installed, and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/epson-452470" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about EPSON">EPSON</a> printer driver updated.How old is this printer ? ?...and what Model is it ?Epson Workforce 645Perhaps I should elaborate more. When I first installed the printer, I could click on properties and get the Epson menu which allowed me to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/choose-419254" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CHOOSE">CHOOSE</a> any paper <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/type-238192" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TYPE">TYPE</a> or print quality setting I wanted. But even if I set this menu to plain paper and economy printing, whenever I tried to print a jpeg, Windows shows it's own menu with limited options. This is no good for the work I do. Now that windows has updated the driver with it's own windows version (which I did not authorize), I can no <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/longer-1078655" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LONGER">LONGER</a> even pull up the Epson menu by clicking on properties in devices & printers. It seems Windows knows <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/better-895998" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BETTER">BETTER</a> than I what I wish to do with my printer.I uninstalled the printer & reinstalled it, hoping to get the Epson driver installed again. Now, the printer menu gives me the plain paper option, but no control over quality of the printing & still no access to saturation and manual color control. I don't understand why the developers of this software think that they can control our devices better than we can. Now my computer has evidently updated again, totally removed the driver for my printer & installed a copy of the driver for the fax. I'm going to downgrade to Windows 7. Unbelievable.</p></body></html> | |
