This sounds like you didn't follow the instructions for installing the
printer, and it has got loaded somehow as a Parallel port printer rather
than a USB printer.
Go to Printer Properties| Ports and set the printer to print to the HP USB
printer port (probably named something like USB001)

I recently re-loaded Windows ME on my machine. My HP Deskjet 952C is
not working now.

I re-ran the software CD that came with the printer and it loaded
successfully. However, I get an error message stating that I’m
getting an "error writing to LPT1. Printer timeout occurred. Increase
time setting for printer." I go into settings and increase it, but
still nothing prints. Thank you all!
