Help, HP 812c troubles.

[SuperC]

Greetings,
I've got an HP 812C awhile back. I've only printed text and
very little color. A few days ago I created a drawing, ran print.
respones I got an error saying my picture wasn't setup for paper size.
Is it my drawing program that caused this ? anyway Is their a
printing maintenace program out in WWW that Print and uses all ink jets
running a test ? also

How important are printer cables ? mine years, could it be time. Do
they faulter ? Thanks

The picture was probably bigger than the printable portion of your paper
size. Check the paper size and margin settings of your drawing program
first. Try making the margins an inch on all sides, and if that works
experiment with different settings until you learn what the driver will
allow. Most likely, the bottom margin is too close to the edge of the page.

Your HP driver software should have a nozzle check test print program
included. Look for the HP Toolbox. Assuming you're using Windows, you
can also get to the test program through the "Printers" link in the
Control Panel. At least, that's the way it worked with Windows 98. I
haven't used Windows much since starting with Linux four years ago.

Probably, check the paper size settings in the program and the driver.

See
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?lc=en&cc=us&docname=bpd07098#N901
and use the "Diagnostic test" for the DeskJet 810c.

Sometimes, but usually they stay OK if they ever were OK.
