It might be happening that your printer may not be having the correct driver for the current windows 7. I think EPL-3000-driver.2.1.2 would be the best driver for you to make this printer work on your computer. After downloading this driver Go to properties of my computer and swicth to Hardware tab and click to the Device Manager. Search for Epson DLQ-3000 ESC/P 2 driver on printer category and Reinstall Driver by double clicking on device and select the Microsoftdriver by clicking Browse button.

Before installing or connecting any printer on windows 7 machine, It is worth to check that is it compatible for windows 7 or not. This could be a problem with you also. To check the Compatibility of Hardware device drivers right click on the driver installation file and switch to compatibility tab and check for Run this program in compatibility mode. Then click for appropriate program from the list. And click on Apply and close it.

There is a possibility of problem with your usb port also or it may happen that you usb port have lost connection with your motherboard because of which you were not able to use your printer. I suggest you not to try anything with usb port instead you can call any engineer to check about your usb port.

You may be trying all the possible changes to make your printer work but it could happen that your computer can load that printer at all. And reason behind this can be your 64 bit windows. So try your printer on some other machine it may happen that your printer would be working there perfectly.
