Hi all,
I have been noticing that there are more posts in the last few days with
this problem, and I am wondering if it could be malicious code causing it. I
have had a couple clients that are having this problem.
Windows XP Pro- SP2
Various motherboards/system configurations/ HP III, 4Si, 4+, 4, 5+, and others
I have been trying to figure out why some of my clients computers, that were
operating well, suddenly have stopped printing altogether. I will usually
get an "Out of Paper" error when trying to print to the parallel ports (I am
trying the USB ports tomorrow). I have removed the drivers from Windows,
reinstalled the HP print drivers fresh (both the native XP and downloaded HP
drivers), and even went so far as to look for conflicts in recently loaded
programs, etc. On one machine I installed a new PCI parallel port controller
card with two new parallel ports and tried to print to LPT2 and LPT3 to no
avail.
The only change on that particular machine was a reload of Office 2000 Pro.
This happened on 2/2/2006. Any ideas? I am about at the end of my rope with
this one.
