    This is really getting annoying....but somehow, accidentally or dysfunctionally my printer starts printing very often when i grab the blue bar (title bar or whatever it is called at the top of a window) and release it with the mouse cursor.
    If I am carful to stop dragging it before i release the mouse it might not print, but it is a microscopic motion that can start printing almost any web page except of course for documents i want to print. For those, I have to click through several dialogue boxes, including an extra Print Setup box that seems to have presented itself once when i was checking something in print setup.
    any suggestions how i can stop this annoying printing feature, or control it for when WANT to use it?
    thanks
    sincerely
    paul

    I am happy with the Epson Stylus CX3200 all in one.

    Have you deleted the printer and reinstalled it?

    Thanks

    I WENT TO DELETE THE DRIVER AND RE-INSTALL... AND IT TURNED OUT I HAD TWO COPIES OF THE PRINTER INSTALLED. i FORGOT THAT i BOUGHT MY PIANO STUDENTS AND EPSON STYLUS CX3200 ON EBAY (BECAUSE I LIKED MINE AND I WAS ALWAYS DOING MAINTAINENCE ON THEIR LEXMARK OR PREVIOUSLY, HP). ANYWAY I DELETED THE UNINSTALLED THE EXTRA COPY OF THE PRINTER AND NOW MY PRINTER DOESN'T PRINT BY ITS OWN CHOICE ANY MORE... JUST WHEN WANT IT TO.
    BUT IT WOULD BE COOL TO HAVE THAT FEATURE OF INSTANT PRINTING WHEN I WANT IT TO... RATHER THAN ALL THE DIALOGUE BOXES.
    WELL THANKS.
    SINCERELY
    PAUL
