Re: can't defragment all files on dirve

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Check your printer settings. Could be worth trying Start, Control Panel, Printers & Faxes, right click on Printer icon and select Properties. Next General tab, Printing Preferences, Paper / Quality, Paper Source. Select Automatically Select!

Sounds like you may the paper source set to Manual, which would explain why it prints when you press the button.

Disk fragmentation is NOT the cause of your printing problem, because,
among other reasons, your disk is in good shape, at least with regard to
fragmentation. Diskeeper doesn't try to achieve perfection; for that you
need the appropriately named PerfectDisk by Raxco. Not that the Raxco
product is that much better; it's a question of two different philosophies
of defragmentation.

Solving your printing problem requires information about your printer, not
your hard disk.

What do you need to know about my printer?......it's a HP Desk Jet 820 Cxi....
I uninstalled & deleted the drivers, rebooted, then rre-installed the
drivers, connected the printer cable tried to print a test page as it does
when you a new printer is detected, & it still does the same thing by taking
the paper in for a sec & then releasing it (I still have to physically press
the "ON" button for anything happens).
HELP!
