For years, I've had an HP DeskJet 812C connected to the parallel port on my Win98SE computer. The printer is shared, and I've had no problems printing from Windows XP. Enter Windows Vista. I set up Vista to use client-side rendering by adding a local printer and having it point to the port for the printer. Everything works fine when I set it up, until I reboot the Vista computer. When that...

Hi, When a print job gets an error in vista (i.e. a status of "Printing - Error"), is there any way to view the underlying condition or status or error code to get an idea of what specifically the problem is? Thanks.

Hi, I can't print to a shared printer in Vista Home Basic. All PC's in the network are Vista, are set up correctly, have the same workgroup, have password protected sharing turned off, etc. I can see the printer on the network and can even double click on it, but when I try printing to it, it just doesn't print! Only printing from the host PC works, not from any network clients.

I have a new HP CP1215 laser printer connected to a Vista home premium pc with printer sharing enabled and that prints apparently OK On a Vista home premium laptop also connected to the network I can print from Word (Office 2003) and _plain_text_email_ from Outlook (Office 2003) _but_not_HTML_email_. Both machines have IE 8 installed I have seen that this might be caused by a particular dll...

The PCL commands are coming from the HP printer driver. (Obviously) The leading data isn't making it to the print server, or it cannot pass it on to the printer. Some of the print servers use "unique" character sequences for control, and strip them from the data sent to the printer. Turns out that this is not an uncommon problem, as we've given up on the units for similar reasons. A...

Greetings, This may actually be a Linksys problem, but I hope there's a workaround in Vista. Linksys wireless print server; network of computers (mostly Vista 32, some XP, one Vista 64, one Linux) that print through it to an HP LaserJet 1200 printer using HP PCL 5 drivers. All print jobs are OK, but many of them (somewhat unpredictably) are

I have a new printer that prints 13x19 inch photos. I would like to buy some plain non-photo paper to practice with before I use the actual photo paper. I can't find any plain paper in that size at my computer or office stores. Anyone know where I can get it? Thanks. Tom

I am trying to add printer and it doesn't matter if it is local or network. When I click add printer I get an error box that says Windows can't open Add Printer. The local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine. At first I thought maybe the profile was bad but I am getting this message on all of the logins on this machine. I am running RC2....

Please help! Said printer will not print wirelessly from my laptop. It prints just fine from my wife's PC that is hard wired directly to the router that the printer is hard wired to (CAT5). I have tried uninstalling the driver from the laptop & re-installing it, that didn't work. If I go into the printer properties and try to "Print Test Page" & if I open the active printers window, it tells me...

Under WinVista I cannot print multiple copies. I've tried this in Word, Acrobat Reader, WordPad, Notepad, and my two HP printers (1200 and 930c). Can anybody help, or this is one of the (many, unpleasant) surprises that Vista had in stock for us? Thanks John C
