If you are referring to my ongoing impossible problem with HP...the site
says my computer HAS the current drivers installed already and then proceeds
to tell me how to make THAT work..which doesn't.. It does print on it's
own--test page, but just let me try hooked up printing and I get flashing
lights and problems of sticky equipment ON the printer and all SORTS of JUNK
printing out after the first page print. It's really like gothing writing in
HUGE fonts. Just had one page with probably size 36 font on the right half
the page from appears to be part of a note. Have NO idea where it came
from. Then I get words all scrambled that LOOK like artwork..it are a mess
no matter HOW I try to make it work. But my other printer does just
fine...so I don't know. Sometimes I can get thru two pages and then it
starts the funny stuff.

The typical fix should be to go to the HP site and make sure you get the
most up-to-date drivers for that printer. Then, completely uninstall the
drivers you're using now, and then reinstall the new drivers.
Have you tried it that way?

| I have an HP printer version Deskjet 882c..it's own software doesn't work
| with XP..I think it was "95-98" respectively. It worked fine on both those
| systems. HP installed a much leaner version on SP minus some nice
features.
| I didn't have problems until I TRIED to update with the older version--not
| thinking there would be a problem. Since then the printer isn't
functioning
| well without all kinds of errors. I tried removing the version I
installed.
| Didn't change anything. IF I am lucky I get one page printed and then the
| computer goes into error--all the lights starting repeating on and of in
| succession. THAT will stop and then it produces page after page of jumble
| until I shut it off, cancel and reboot and sometimes I have to go thru
THAT
| 4 or5 times. Gotten very pesty this situation. I don'tknow WHAT to remove
to
| totaly delete the whole program to try and start over. There are so many
| files and I think some unrelated to the printer.
| I have a restore disk that has the files on it but getting rid of un
| necessary to get back to normal???ARGHHH..its been too far back to think
| about useing restore in the computer.AND I can't find the owners manual.
| GROWL.. I didn't think about the "in house" restore in time. SOOO
| Any ideas?.. Been shuffling thru this for days...
