Running Vista Premium, IE8 and using Epson Stylus CX6600.
Selecting Maintenance button in Printing preferences dialog unable to access

It actually may be a blessing!
The Epson status monitor can cause some annoying but minor problems, with a
popup error message.
It does this periodically with my laptop, which has a wireless connection to
an Epson WF600.
The error message is basically that the status monitor has a problem, not
that there is a printer problem.
