When you send a print job from your Windows 98-based computer to an Epson
Action Laser 1600 printer, your computer may run slowly, and your print
job may not complete successfully.
CAUSE
This issue can occur if you are using an older Epson printer driver.
If you are using an older Epson printer driver, it may prevent the
installation of a newer driver.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, rename the following files to a .old file
extension, restart your computer, and then install the printer driver
from your Windows 98 media:
Ephpw.drv
Sid2datw.dll

Sid2ctlw.dll
Sid2libw.dll
Sid2sfmw.dll
