Windows Vista send pages to my printer by itself

[MinConst]

I am running Home Premium and have had this issue. I had an HP 6210 printer
and now a new HP L7680. Both printers this happens with. I will be browsing
the web and suddenly a page will be sent to my printer. I am not a beginner
by any means and know I am not sending a print with the KB or any other way.
I thought it might have been the original printers driver but see the same
issue with the new printer and driver.
I have had to turn the printer off which I do not care for. I contacted HP
on the previous printer and they said it is not their driver. So here I am at
MS for help. I don't see the issue mentioned in the KB so here it is for all
you guys and gals to help figure out.
Thanks and Happy New Year!

Is there an actually legible print job or just a couple lines at the top of
the page.

There was virus several years back which who copy infected files to other
shares on the network including shared printers.

Pause the printer, then check later if there are any print jobs in the
queue. Check the owner.

Alan,
Yes I get a normal page. This happens mostly, if not only, with IE and I
get a web page printed. It prints the complete page.

something from the application has to be triggering the print event this is
not a core spooler issue.
