ok thats another thing i did was power it down and unplug it. i havent
replaced the cable but i did try to connect it with a usb cable. it sees the
printer but won't print to it. if its seperated from the pc and powered up
its fine. but once i connect it to the pc then it starts up again. only way
to stop it is in task manager. i close the spoolsv.exe program that stops it
temporarily. i am wondering if maybe that app. has been corrupted? if so any
suggestions on a fix?
