21699	2001-10-17 01:16:00	I have a Panasonic KX-P6500 laser printer attached to a Pentium II-300, 128Mb Ram. Whenever I go to print something, the printer starts up and does the job, printing perfectly, but as it does, the computer reboots itself. I had this problem initially when I installed this printer, and then it came right, but I'm not sure why/how. Since then I have had to reinstall Windows (surprise, surprise) and now I am back to the same old problem of reboot. I have the printer port set to 'ECP+EPP' in the BIOS.	Guest (0)
