Printers lose communications

by meltvn . Updated 25 years ago

HI

I have an HP 890c and 870 printers. The problem is that when they are connected to two separate computers they do not print. I receive a message that the communication has timed out between the computer and printer.
Some times the printers doprint a Windows test page and work fine for a few pages but then start with their trouble again?
The printers both print their Hp test pages OK. The one computer runs WIN98SE and the other WIN ME. Both are new computers Piii range. Could it be a cable problem, because it was bought after we had the printers, it however does not help changing them around. What also bothered me is that the printers does the same on an old Pentium computer it however ran on WIN 98? The printers was cleaned and serviced.

Thanks
MELT
