First of all I am very impressed with this tool. The stuff that you can adjust and/or remove. Glad that I found this magnificient tool.

The only problem that I have, is that the Microsoft "Fax/Printer software" doesn't seem to work anymore.
Can anyone tell me what could be the reason for this malfunction?

The services presets are set to "safe" and I didn't remove the printer/fax driver.

I must confess, that most of these features/services are removed and/or disable. I post feedback about the results.



Sadly, it didn't work for me. It's still tesame situation, app doesn't work.

But thx anyway, for your suggestions.

Hi.
Did you choose to remove NET Framework or WinSXS?
That could have an impact..

My printer works perfectly.
However, it seems my new printer (EPSON XP-225) is less sensitive to component removal than my old printer, which was an HP model
