Are you chaning the machine and printer to Match the computers name and the printers name?

Is the printer a networked printer or is it attached to the machine you're sitting at?

Why is there a space in your printer sharename? You shouldn't use spaces. You can try double quotes, but I would rename the printer to a proper sharename.

RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /k "\\RAS-PC\EPSON WorkForce 30 Series"

RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /k \\RAS-PC\EPSON

renamed printer share name and actual name... not work....seems so simple

Is the printer functioning at the device to which it is attached?
What happens when you simply print a document using either an application or from a CMD window?

CMD Example

print d:\\pcname\printername \path\filename

[freetomove]

it prints normally
fine...

So what is the issue?
