I have 3 printers attached to my machines..
2 laser that are networked to the computers..
1 HP DeskJet 1120C (Ink Jet)
Anyway the HP has just decided it won't print from Word/ Notepad or Wordpad
... It transports the correct amount of paper but the pages are always blank..
But it will print the content of emails in Outlook Express and I just used
PAINT and it printed beautifully...
The Word/Wordpad & Notepad documents print okay on the laser printers .
I have uninstalled/reinstalled the printer via the control panel, too many
times.. Tried updating drive but XP insists it is fine...
Just tried the "PaperPort color image", for the first time and it printed
the pages just fine.. Beautiful color...
So.. I know the printer is fully operational..
Now the catch...
One, it is and older printer with a printer port .. I have it connected to
this machine with a Parallel to USB cable..
Windows XP always finds the printer and necessary driver(s) without any
intevention on my part..
HP built this printer for Windows 98 and refused to write a drive for XP...
Even though this printer was only 1 year old when XP came out... That's the
reason I will never buy another thing from HP....
Anyway there is no install disk that will work with XP... So I rely on the
default driver(s) built into XP..
Printer has worked fine but some of the fancy bells & whistles won't work
with XP...
Just ran SCANNOW /SFC .... No help..
So. I'm looking for ideas..
I have the printer set to DEFAULT but that makes no difference..
