75063 2002-08-30 08:11:00 i've just come back from holiday, and i went to print some things off on our new printer (a HP Deskjet 656 C) and nothings happening.
It sends it to the printer and either tells me that it has printed ( by the lil icon beside the clock going) or it eventually times out. I have tried printing from a variety of sources e.g. webpage, from image editing prog etc, but nothign seems to work. all the cables are tightly secured and i've rebooted a few times...any ideas anyone?

I'd hate to try and re-install the thing again,

HP don't make things easy!!

75065 2002-08-30 09:45:00 woops sorry godfather, in my haste i forgot important details...

Pentium II, Windows 98, 64mb ram.

The printer is USB, i checkt the connection (the "controller" and "usb hp color printer v.1.0") in the hardware profile and it says its working fine.
