Status Monitor Locking Me Out!

[Michael Greer <mgreer316@yahoo.com>]

Gang, 

I've been using Epson printers for almost a decade and I've never experienced
this problem before. It's happening with my 1270 and 2000P when printing from
any application. When I print, I can't continue to use the application that
I've printed from until the print job is finished. When I try to click on the
application window, I get the Window's "bong" sound letting me know I'm trying
to do something that is not acceptable. In other words, while the job is
printing I'm locked out from the application that initiated it, but not other
apps (I'm running Win XP).

Now, this was not a problem until I reinstalled the Epson Status Monitor 3. The
monitor was not displaying ink levels, so I downloaded the latest version from
Epson's web site and installed it. Now I get the ink levels, but I can't
continue to use the initiating program until the print job is finished. Is
there a switch that needs to be flicked somewhere? If so, where is it? I've
looked everywhere. This is drving me nuts.
