Have you tried a different browser? The printer, as I understand it, only prints what it's told to print (or what it thinks it's been told). I imagine it'd only print the source if the browser is telling it to print the source.

It's not the source of the web page, it's the info the printer is being sent, the data printed as text instead of the actual page.

Unplug the printer from USB, uninstall the software from Add/Remove programs. Download the latest software from Epson's site, reconnect printer when instructed.

If that doesn't work the printer might have a problem. You can pick up a decent color inkjet all-in-one for under $100 anymore.

No I did do that..... and it was still the same result.

Wolfy's Idea actually worked tho. They were using IE6 on their Computer and I installed Firefox for them and showed them how to use it but idk I don't think they like it :psyduck:

IE7 has some printing optimizations. That might work better.

Uh, no, you have that completely wrong. IE6 isn't safe at all and buggy and crappy and totally non-compliant and unsupported...

IE7 is alright.

It's never deleted all my bookmarks for no reason.

and firefox has never done that for the rest of us..

user error?
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
