Thank you for pointing me to the HP site. That is where i found the fix.
Evidently, XP Home edition sometimes doesn't install the correct version of
the USB driver for the HP printer. The driver that has the AA letters after
it sometimes loses its communication, so to make it work correctly, HP says
to update the driver to the AB version or above. Also, just changing the
driver to the PCI to USB bus steering works. It did for me. Thanks again.
