HP 842C reboots when printing
I just added DSL and now the HP 842C printer
reboots my machine about half the time. I already had ethernet card configured but it was rarely used. I downloaded and reinstalled the print driver and the HW config says it is fine. It prints fine from my laptop USB. I tried RAW instead of EMF mode, no difference. I have been using this printer for a year OK. Each reboot (scandisk of course) takes awhile so trying many things is time consuming... Quite a stumper?!? |
