Print Requires Reboot

[tsevier]

I am connected to a local printer and receive an "Document failed to
print" error each time I try to print. If I reboot the computer the
document will print, but then I have to reboot to get the next doc to
print. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Make and model of printer please... and how is it connected to the PC... USB
or Parallel port... or other?

I apparently got this wrong; I haven't used Netscape Newsgroups before I used
Agent.
I have the same problem. Using an hp/Compaq nx9020 notebook with Win XP and
an old hp Deskjet 320. No parallel port on this computer so I got a
USB-to-Centronix cable. The printer prints but all I get is an unknown error
til I reboot then whatever I tried to print last time prints! I don't know
what the error is, I went through Troubleshooting which didn't help. How do I
clear the error or get my stuff to print w/o a reboot? THe computer does
recognize the printer, I just get this error.
I also have some old utilities to copy a line feed or reset character to the
printer (a DOS batch file) but they don't work any more. Changed LPT1: to
USB1: but it still doesn't work I just get errors
Thanks! >
