Hi, thanks for your reply.
I have re-installed the drivers numerous times - make no difference.
What my original post doesn't make clear is that this only occurs after the
PC has been on for a few hours. When I first boot up or restart the PC,
anything which hasn't printed on previous attempts comes out of the printer.
I have just added the HP Universal network driver (in addition to the
original one) for the 1200N so I'll see if that makes any difference. Oddly,
the HP Network Printer Install utility couldn't find the printer on the
network (I had to enter the IP address).
