rebooting when print selected
When I start printing, w98 system reboots for no reason, immediately. It's a
dot matrix printer on a parallel port on another computer on the network. Only happens on this printer (there are other printers attached) and since a software update. Doesn't happen when using this printer from another pc. |

rebooting when print selected
What "software update" occurred before this started happening? A Windows
Update? Some other application? The printer software itself, or drivers? -- Gary S.

Application software was updated. Other software on this PC does not cause
re-booting. "Gary S. Terhune" wrote: What "software update" occurred before this started happening? A Windows Update? Some other application? The printer software itself, or drivers? -- Gary S.

What is the software? Does undoing the update to that software resolve the
problem? Can you reapply the update manually? -- Gary S.
