Re: printing problems

I concur with Vince. I am having the same problem since using SP2. Although
graphics don't work for me either. The test pages using HPs diagnostic
software work, but nothing Windows related will print, including the Windows
Test Page.

Kinda useless to have the same person keep posting "uninstall and reinstall"
where I haven't seen that advice help anyone out yet.

Does anyone have any real answers?
