143290 2003-05-11 23:02:00 I have a HP Deskjet 930C.
My OS is Win 98

Recently, I have had problems with the applications (Word + Excel) losing their links to the printer.

It works OK the first few times you want to print then it acts like the printer is no longer there.

Exiting the application and restarting it sees the printer working again.

Any ideas???

143292 2003-05-12 06:09:00 Is it just Word and Excel that gives the problems?

The printer drivers may have become corrupted somehow. You could try uninstalling the printer then reinstalling.
