Since upgrading to Windows10 from Windows7, I no longer get the printer in level status that I did before the upgrade.
I have an Epson NX420 Stylus printer. Previously, every time something was printed, the ink level pop up screen appeared. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks.
Did you re-install the software for printer after the upgrade? I would look at re-installing, at a minimum the Epson Network utility v4.19. This might help the situation. Of course you may have already done this, if so ignore my post.
Hi - yes, reinstalled the software and made sure drivers were current. Didn't make any difference.
I know this article is the reverse of what you want to do but may if you follow it may lead you to answer. At least you can check if it is disabled and other settings in Printer Preferences.

Hi - having tried all suggestions with no luck, as a last resort I called Epson Support. The tech had me re-download and install the most recent software but with one small change. He asked that I disconnect the USB cable until the download requested that it be connected. THAT was the secret to making it work. Sounds crazy but it's a fact.
Thanks.
Actually it is not crazy. Lots of Hp products install like that. I believe Windows loads defaults as soon as it sees hardware. Then the Epson updates don't take effect. In this order the Espon stuff gets installed and then the device appears. Thanks for posting back, it will help others.

Okay, thanks - that's interesting. I hope others will benefit from this.
