Kim, What printer do you have? Is it attached locally (LPT or USB), shared on another computer, or networked? My first two guesses would be bad memory or hard drive with questionable sectors. Run scandisk with all switches checked (the scan will have to run on startup, so I would suggest you restart the computer when you are not going to be using it for a while). I would also check that the cable to the printer is properly seated, even if it appears to be tight on both ends, unplug the ends and replug them in to the proper places. Maybe even replace the cable.

Often, printing the same message later the same day results in no errors. Sometimes the error occurs when printing a web page. The printer driver has been replaced. Office has been reinstalled - Office 2003, Exchange server, Windows XP. I have searched the PC for viruses and spyware, and found nothing except a few cookies. In the past the PC has been rebuilt - software removed and installed from scratch - to try and fix this problem. But the problem returned. Is there a fix for this? I have checked web pages but havent found anything useful. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu at the top.
