Use System Restore to go back to the point before you installed the updates.

Sometime after installing two Windows updates last week for my HP LJ2300dn
I've been unable to print from any Windows app -- "Windows cannot print
due
to a problem with the current printer setup", "Test page failed to print".
Printing from a DOS prompt (COPY CON LPT1) works and I've deleted/added
the
printer and restarted several times using HP's drivers. The updates aren't
shown in the Add or Remove Programs list.

These are the updates:
- Hewlett-Packard - Other Hardware - hp LaserJet 2300 (DOT4)
Hewlett-Packard Other Hardware software update released in July, 2006
- Hewlett-Packard Company - Printers - HP LaserJet 2300 Series PCL 6 hp
printer software update released on August 22 2004.

Any ideas are very much appreciated.
