Hi all;
PC is a socket 7, don't laugh or bitch, it runs good. Got the K6-2 in it,128
ram and it sees my whole 80 GB Maxtor without an overlay. Burns fine too, no
coasters even back when it had spyware on it.
The other week the printer stopped working, as stated an HP 1100. It took the
paper about half way down and just stopped. I took it downstairs and loaded the
drivers onto the junker 166MMX down there, mainly because I have alot more
tools and space down there. The drivers took just fine and it printed the test
page fine. The only other thing I did was to remove the toner and have a look
for something obvious.
Brought it back upstairs, plugged it in and it works fine for a few weeks, now
today it takes the paper only a quarter of the way and does the same thing.
Pulling the paper out resulted in what looks like a good mechanical reset on
powerup, but once you try to print, same thing.
The reason I've not removed and reloaded the drivers is because it was not
nessecary last time. I figured that it got hit by a cosmic ray or something and
all it needed was a clean reset, but now that didn't work.
If I take it downstairs and it works, and then works on this machine, now what
? That would almost have to be a software problem. Glitches and Gremlins as
they're called in the voting machines BTW
Anyway, the port settings should stay as they are because there is also a
scanner on the line. Incedentally, when I installed the drivers it made the
hard default 14" instead of 11 1/2, I had to remove the scanner and printer
drivers and reinstall, the scanner first I figured was the logical way. (it is
not a 14" scanner), and it worked fine thereafter. Up until when this happened.
I'm real curious to see if it will simply work on the other PC, and I'll let
you know, but if you got any ideas in the meantime I'd love to hearem. Remember
driver reinstallation was not required last time.
Runnin 98SE, AOL7 on DSL, Office 8 a whole bunch of CODECS, NAV 2001 with an
update this year, but the problem happened at a time I'm pretty sure it was all
in, I mean there were no major software changes.
Got an older version of WinMX also, but it was also there before and after.
I'll let you know soon about whether it works on the other PC.
Thanks in advance for whatever you can think up on this.
