[vickerps]

Hi Just got the Epson EPL-6200

It come with the famous Epson status monitor which you and access from your system tray

I would like to open this via a script. Does anyone have any suggestion. I have found the process that runs it in task manager but don't know how to shell it.

Actually, it is I that should apologize... I looked at a few of your past posts and thought that with your level of knowlegde you would know about a little thing called Run... but silly me, I posted my comment anyway.

I should leave this to those that have Epson printers installed, but at the risk of looking foolish again: Is there a *.cpl file that brings up what you want or does attempting to start this service when it is already started bring up the interface that you want? (I have a utility in the system tray that acts like that - two starts = GUI.)

later...
