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 Joe T |

HP Printer Error on Selected Documents
Does this printer have an XP driver installed?

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.
