Printing problem ???

Posted: 05-25-2005, 06:01 AM
Dear all,

I have a USB HP 3600 series printer connected to a customer PC which
complains that print jobs remains in the printer queeue in a similar way as
if you use the printer Off Line.
But it is not, prints document are quueued and the first job in the queue
has the status "printing", but nothing goes out.

No alarms gets reported by the driver, the printer is On and enought paper in.
The driver is set as default, with pooling option and print directly to
printer.

The only way to recover, is to switch off the printer and switch on again,
the the first document in the queue gets prints with garbage and others
follow correctly.

After this, it continue to works as normaly and after a while it start again .

Any idea what could it be, I am out of ideas ?

thnaks for your help
regards

serge

Ensure the USB Controllers are not set to go into standby... Device Manager,
USB Controllers, Power Management.
