Re: Publisher 2007/Vista - print problems with newsletter

According to the article at the HP site the paper sensor is the *automatic*
setting. The support document suggests changing the paper setting from automatic
to letter.

Have you read the Vista article concerning the printer spooler?

Sorry, I don't know what the paper sensor is - however the problem is
fundamentally not about speed, I think - the overnight "printing" was not
actually printing at all - it was just lost in itself. I didn't get anything
out of it on that occasion at all. Any other ideas?

I am trying to print (HP officejet P145) 4 different files, each single A4
page landscape, from Microsoft publisher (office suite 2007) newsletter.
Most
times it will just spew out several pages of blank paper only. Another time
I
left it "printing" overnight with nil result by morning, and jammed the
system up & I had to reboot to clear. I have had success with one file - it
printed satisfactorily once, but on subsequent attempts to print the same
file it has just spewed out 11 blank pages! I watched the occasions it
spewed
out paper on the Control Panel - the print file size was only 2.02Mb. On
another file - 23.7Mb according to the printer control panel, it prints
half
of the first column, the rest of the page blank. If you're wondering why
separate files, well I split the exercise up into individual files to make
it
simpler as I am a novice! I've checked the HP website for new driver & they
confirm I'm on the latest version, and also confirms that I should be okay
for simple print jobs with Vista. Microsoft updates checked and are all
present & correct also. I have overcome the problem by saving files as .pdf
and printing from there - but this is not a practical solution ongoing. Any
ideas?
