Not entirely sure what you mean here.  You want to colors to be more vivid?  There are two things you can do if that is the case.  Using a photo editor you can enhance the colors and save the file   This will then increase the pixel settings for each drop of color the printer puts on the paper, thus enhancing the image.\n\nThe other option is to use semi-glossy or glossy photo paper.  The colors will be a little more vivid on those.\n\nThe bright/contrast controls of the scanner have no effect on the printing of the image.  Check you documentation of the Epson to see the highest DPI it can print at.  Might also be that you are printing at the highest DPI it allows in which case you can't get it any brighter without glossy paper and even that will be a limited effect.

Check your Monitors manual for instructions on how to access the built in menu system. Often its obvious like a big menu button on the front!\nAnyway since you don't describe exactly what you mean by light I would suggest trying to reduce the contrast a little and or the brightness.\n\nIf this doesn't give you satisfactory results some graphic cards have system software which allows you to configure the brightness and gamma controls for the video output.\n\nJohn

disconect the monitor cable from the video card and look at the pins....make sure one didn't get bent. it's way easy to bend one and it will usually throw off the color or brighrness. if thats ok, try adjusting the brightness and contrast on the monitor.

If you are using Windows XP\nChances are it will have a driver ready for the printer\nIf not, you can search the net\nType in the model and locate the correct driver for installation\nHope this will be of some help to you\nHappy printing

I also have a dell laptop. My brightness controls are on the keyboard.  They look like a little sun on the arrow keys.  You need to hold down the function key to control them.

I had a similiar problem on our POS printer.  I had to sign up at Epson's website and download the drivers for it:\n\nhttp://pos.epson.com/developers/index.htm

Your monitor probably has buttons on the front of it for controling the brightness and contrast, and it sounds like those buttons are starting to wear out and "push" themselves. You could take it to a computer shop and get it fixed (they can replace the buttons), but if it's an old monitor, you're probably better off getting a new one.

Try adjusting your display settings in Control Panel.

well.. as for mine. i can press a blue button that says "fn" which is near the alt and ctrl button... and at the same time... at the numbers "f9" and "f10" there is the brightness control.\nso you hold down the "fn" and "f10" at the same time and it will make it brighter.\n\nfor me atleast..

Try taking a photocopy, This can usually enhance the contrast between black and white and produce an image that is better than the original. You can play with the contrast settings on your photocopier to see which gives the best result.

Could be a software glitch.\n\nUninstall your printer drivers, disconnect the printer from your PC, and reboot the PC.  This will "remove the printer from being recognized as installed.\n\nReinstall your drivers, reconnect your printer, and reboot the PC.\n\nThe PC should now recognize your printer correctly.\n\nTry printing  and see how it goes.\n\nHope this helps.

make sure you run a "detect hardware" scan on your computer to check that yourcomputer knows that a printer is connected. second, it might be printing the page blnak because the ink cartidge is dry or jammed?

Sounds like a faulty driver giving your computer incorrect instructions.  First, try uninstalling and then reinstalling your printer drivers.  Next, run the printer utilities (found by going  Contro Panel>Printers and Faxes and right clicking on the troubled printer and clicking properties.  Then click the "utilities" tab and use all of them to make sure it's not a simple quick fix you need.).  That should do it.

This sounds as if you have connected the printer, but have not loaded the drivers.  Or, you have replaced your printer and have not set it as the default printer.  \n\nTry going to your application's printer set up.  You should have the option to select the default printer as your new one.\n\nI hope this helps.

The setting for this is normally in the CMOS, the bootup settings (where you press F12 or Delete or something).\n\nI bet there's a button combination you can press to increase the brightness...on my old Dell I held the Fn key down and the up arrow...search for a little sun icon or something on your keys.

That message might pop up even it works, install and try your printer if it works see if there is an ignore message box on the window.

When you press "Print Screen," what happens? Does it just not work, or the graphics are messed up, what?\n\nTry restarting your computer if it just doesn't take a screen shot, sometimes that happens to me when I try to take a screen shot. I don't know why that happens, but the computer just stops taking screen shots after taking a couple already.
