RE: System error when trying to print

Have you tried a System Restore?
Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore
You can go back up to 90 days. If no positive result, go here to do
a complete uninstall and reinstall of the culprit printer. Unplug printer.
Uninstall & reinstall Printer. Just make sure you install the software
first and DO NOT plug the printer in until told to do so.
