Ran into this problem earlier today when printing from Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator.  Basic symptoms are that the print dialogue takes almost a minute to pop up and then any navigation through the options is very slow.  The printer settings also do not show current ink levels.

It turns out this problem can be fixed by simply deleting the following file:
C:\ProgramData\Epson\Printer there is a file called EPAUDF01.AUD

The file is normally supposed to be very small but this problem occurs when the file somehow builds up over 1 MB or more.

More details found through some digging here:

In times of need, we gather together to unitedly state the obvious.

This is an odd bug, but if you try to specify a background for a link on hover (a:hover), the background may not take effect in Internet Explorer 8.  Fortunately it is an easy fix but not very obvious.

Basically make sure to specify the background in the non-hover state; if there is none, then set it to transparent.  Your CSS would then look like this:

a {
background-color:transparent;
}
a:hover {
background-color:#CCC; /* or whatever color you want */
}

Hopefully this saves some time for someone out there.  It took a while of playing around to finally get it working but ah well.

There are always two sides to an issue, only if you have no idea what the issue is about.

Vitality becomes youth.
Weariness becomes age.
Sleep becomes death.

     Been doing a lot of work with pocket projectors lately.  One problem I've run into with them is the throw length.  It's no fun having something portable if you still need a lot of space to do any projecting.  So I did some experimenting with mirrors to see if I can "simulate" the extra distance for the projector without actually using much space.

Thinking you subconsciously act against your will is just a conscious act of denial.

As children, we pondered the meaning of words, but as adults, we can only think in terms of them.

Never become a shadow of your former self.

Nothing, nothing... just letting some ideas rot in the back of my mind.

Just when you think you've reached your goal, you move right pass it and realize there was never an end in the first place.

As kids in school, we spend our days in the winter cold,
but as summer approaches, we just feel old.

You will always be busy, but you choose what you will be busy with.

The greatest language is intuition.
The greatest barrier is language.

Since when was being busy an excuse to be unreliable?

We die when our cells stop believing we exist.

You say you want to make a change in the world.  What will you do once you attain it? What's preventing you from doing that already?
