OK.. I let the printer go thru it's passes. AFTER another reinstall..I get
ONE copy..then it proceeds to print out BANDS of what looks like off center
HUGE font words. like the words are there but the letters scrambele. I let
it print till it clears the print que..however many I set it for I get one
good one and all the rest look like this weird gothic stuff, one band about
1/2 wide at page top then it skips maybe 3 inches and 2 more inches of this
STUFF..then stops. and rotates the lights and then off to the next page..
until it has the number of specified pages..then it clears. I wish I could
just clear the whole darn HP system out of the computer and load what's on
the restore disk.. it might stop all this. But nothing shows up in
add/remove programs or in programs..and when I do search I get 10 million
possible files. And no idea WHICH are the right ones...

How come you can't shut off the printer -- Go into Print dialog
thingie and delete the job, shut down computer, then pull the
plug from printer to electricity, reconnect, hit reset a few
times, then turn the computer back on . When my HP Deskjet
720C goes **wonky** this is what I do and works.

ok... with the info on the hieroglyphics being printed on one
line over and
over... I have another suggestion, which has worked for me with
HP deskjets
in the past. have lots of paper on hand and let it print those
out until it
stops. I've found that this is the only way to clear out the
internal
queue. when you stop that from printing, the *job* still
remains in queue
and when you reboot your pc, it wants to start printing that
stuff all over
again.
