Maybe a different driver would perform better. I had a postscript driver do this once and fixed it by installing the PCL5 driver instead.

Hi

As above, make sure you have plenty of disk space available, otherwise the spooler will have trouble and eventually you will not be able to print at all. Also, as above, it was not made clear, but you should make sure you have the *latest* drivers available - download them from the printer manufacturer's web site.

Also, check the print settings in your driver, or even uninstall and then reinstall the driver.

Good luck

Do you have office XP/2003 installed on this PC?
