    Acitve Directory Domain Service is unavailable


    I have an Epson Photo R320 printer which has worked on my dell computer - now I get a message "The Active Directory Domain Service is currently unavailable" Any idea how to get this printer to work (I have "downloaded" new drivers to no avail)

    Welcome to Seven Forums claypotva. Does windows show the printer?

    Start> In search box type Devices and Printers> Enter

    Right click on the Epson printer if it shows, and choose Troubleshoot. See if windows has any help
