"This document failed to print"

I am XP Professional, P4 2.6. I consistently get
the "This document failed to print" popping up every 20
seconds while printing on either one of my 2 HP printers.
The print does complete successfully but it pauses every
time I get the message so it slows everything down
considerably. I can't pin down any changes that I made
that corresponds to this starting. It seems only to
happen when printing color. I have downloaded the latest
drivers with no luck. Any ideas. Jim
