Copy utility doesn't work with Epson 1660

I'm trying to use the copy application to, obviously, copy a paper, but
using the Epson Smart panel, when I click the copy option, the utility
quickly appears, then disappears, and nothing else happens. There are 4
check boxes in the application: Initialize Settings, Checking input device,
checking output device, build initial settings. The utility always closes
when it gets to the point of checking output device. No error, it just
instantly quits. Any idea how to fiddle with this utility? I'm not an
expert scanner. All I really want to do is get the same size print as the
original. Short of solving the copy utility problem, any tips on how to do
that?

Thanks,
Matt
