RE: problem with parallel port - all printers

I am experiencing similar issues, but with hp DeskJet 812C. Like you, I,
too, have tried everything that hp recommended, to no avail. I can only
suspect a bug has gotten into my computer past my Norton Internet Security
2005 & all the ms security patches - despite my best effort's. My printer is
making noise as if it is trying to print & bumping!?! I guess that if we can
find the bug, it may fix the printer issue. Wish me luck & Good luck to you
too.

I too thought maybe it was the printer, but test pages and a friends PC fired the 4P right up. It did work for about a month, but then nothing. It accepts the print command as if it is fine, no error message and no printer output. This is very frustrating. I wish I could help you out more, but I have no idea. If you figure something out, please let me know.
