HP Printer Error on Selected Documents

(I may have inadvertantly posted this on another
newsgroup)

I'm running a new system with XP Home with my old HP 5L
printer. Never had problems in Win98. Now, when I try
to print certain (more complex) pages from the web, or a
Word document with a lot of email hyperlinks, or most any
file with graphics or pictures, the printer goes to error
mode and either won't print at all or prints a few pages
of junk. Smaller, less involved web pages and Word
documents are no problem and print fine.

I have checked for driver updates from HP. There are
none.
I have reloaded the printer drivers. Problem persists.
I have replaced the printer cable to 1284. Problem
persists.
I installed an HP 4L for comparison, and encountered the
same problem.

Any new ideas on what I can do to solve this problem?

Thanks

Does this printer have an XP driver installed?

Did you correctly uninstall them eact time? If you missed out on step 4,
you're still using the old corrupted drivers.

Yes. I originally set it up with the HP 5L driver from
the XP install wizard. Had the problem. I then loaded
the original driver the printer came with. Same
problem. So I reinstalled the Windows XP driver again.
All with the same printer error results.
