From: Unknown on 5 Aug 2010 10:24 Some printers should not be connected until told to do so. I suggest you disconnect the printer, delete the printer driver, reboot then install the driver. Do not connect the printer till told to do so.

From: FrankV on 5 Aug 2010 19:48 I have an HP4200 and had the same problem but it was caused by my playing around with the settings.
