Byte:
I tried printing from every program I have. Word, PowerPoint,
Publisher, notePad, plus a "test print" from the printer properties.
I got the error message with all of them.
This morning I bought a new HP all-in-one printer (1315xi) and it
prints perfect! So, what does that tell me? Windows XP had to be ok.
Nothing wrong with the system there. The problem must have been with
the printer, right?
I still don?t understand it, but what I will do is take that printer
and hook it up to another computer to see what happens! If it doesn?t
print, then it definately was the printer. However, if it prints, I?m
going to be very confused!
