Thanks for trying to help. I could print from an email/web/excel, but not word. After quite some time I have found the solution: In the print menu is a button called page set up...and there it was...sitting on "print CD/DVD. I have never even been inside that, nor did I made the change in the first place. So basically not the "printers' fault, but something withing the computer ;-) Hope that helps others.
epson xp 830
One moment I have printed a document from word and it worked just fine. Wanted to print another document from word, Looks like it is going to print but then the printer tells me it trying to printing a cd/dvd. Help, please...so frustrated. OS Windows 10

Try reinstalling the Printer.
Right-click Start and select Run.
In the Run dialog box, type in control printers and press OK.
Locate your printer in the Printers section, Right click it and select Remove device.
Restart your PC.
If you have a setup media of the Printer driver(This is usually a CD or Setup program supplied with the Printer), run the utility and let the Printer Install.
If you do not have a setup media, try adding a printer manually using "add a printer" button in the menu bar. It should automatically detect and Install the Printer.
After the Printer Installs, try printing a test page to see if it works as desired.
Retry the task again.
