Of course, the first step is to update the printer driver by downloading the newest from http://www.hp.com/cposupport/software.html. If the problem remains, try changing some of the advanced settings on the printer driver. First, disable MS-DOS spooling. If that doesn't fix it, try printing directly to the port with bidirectional support disabled. Note that you will have to reboot after any GPF, or any further tests are invalid. The error message should indicate what modules are involved inthe fault, and usually it's the printer driver and the DOS or Windows spooler. If not, search knowledgebases for articles related to the file names in the error message.
