Following on from the last question and subsequent answeres I now have a clearer picture as to when the fault occurs.

It's when the person goes to print that the egg timer stays on the screen and the system has to be re-started, The printer is a Brother 1070. in the bios it is set to epp 1.7.

any further advice would be appreciated, see other question "egg timer" placed earlier.

Regards

Peter

OK, it sounds like it could be a bi-directional printer issue here. The PC is waiting for data to come back from the printer (ACK, etc.) but is not receiving it. In the printer's properties, select the Spool Settings button, and if you can, selectthe "Disable bi-directional support for this printer" option. That should solve your problem.

I asume this printer is attatched localy, but is it shared with the other pc's? If it is shared, try removing the share. If that doesn't work, try removing the printer and reinstalling it.

I hope this helps.

Delete the printer and reinstall it , then print a test page to check if every thing is OK . To delete the printer just right click on the Brother 1070 printer icon in the printers applet and select delete . To reinstall it double click on the " addprinter " icon .The driver disk for the printer might have diagnostic software on it Try using it .

Good Luck !!!!
