USB Printer doh!

[Jerry Atrik 0]

now i get to start a help thread.

my neighbors got a unknown via mobo and a p3

i loaded xp last night and everything runs perfect (though slow)

 

they have a hp usb photoprinter that installs and everything but when u try to print more than a line the print fails and the printer disconnects.

so if all the docs are 1 line long then he can use the printer

 

it looks like a buffer over run. but i cant tell for sure and there is no problems as far as xp says

 

it's an old mobo because it still has 2 isa slots but it does have a 2x agp

 

any idears?

Were you using HP usb drivers or the native WinXP drivers?

i tried installing the raw windows drivers but they dont have any for this printer (very new)

[adamvjackson 0]

So you installed the HP drivers that were included with the printer?

i used the updated ones from the webpage

 

it was bad usb ports on the mobo

i put in a pci usb ports and everything works perfect
