Post subject: Printing sticks after half a page Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>print_fax_scan (more info?)
Hi
My HP Photosmart 2575 MFD under Vista sometimes works fine but then randomly
prints a few lines of a job and gives up. An error shows in the print queue,
but the only way the job will delete is if the printer is physically
switched off . Sometimes it will print parts of the page on 2 or 3 sheets of
paper before freezing. The freeze often persists through rebooting the
machine or switching the printer on and off. Printer off, wait 30 seconds,
reboot computer, printer on will often fix things, but not always. Randomly
but rarely the printer will install another copy of itself on being switched
on.
Vista is fully patched up, I'm using HP update so should have the latest HP
software, I have downloaded this several times and reinstalled, due to other
problems I did a fresh install of Vista a couple of months ago - this
problem persisted.

Thanks Carey
I have been using this utility for a couple of months. It diagnoses a
printer queue problem and will clear out the queue but the printer remains
frozen and no more/new jobs will print.

Thanks Carey
I have this utility which helps a bit, but any ideas on what causes the
problem in the first place, or how to go about diagnosing it?
