439774 2006-03-22 03:56:00 Hi there. Some of you recently helped me get my printer (Hp Deskjet 3745) working through my Linux(Badger) which is connected to my XP box via cross-over wire(and KVM). The printer is plugged into the XP box by USB and has now stopped printing. When I switch on the computers it comes to life unasked and the ink carriage does a couple of runs and paper is pulled in. But if I select some text and asked it to print, I get no response. I've tried no end of things; even unsharing it with the Linux box. I tried to put XP into 'stand-by' and got a dialog saying 'Print Spooler is preventing the machine from entering stand-by. Try stopping this service and try again'. I would if I knew how - someone may be kind enough to tell me - and whether doing so might get it printing again. The ink supply is indicated as being about a third full. My thanks in advance to those who's help I rely on......Sarum sarum (6222)

439776 2006-03-23 05:09:00 Hi FrankS and thankyou so much for that address. I'm not sure exactly which of the many things I did that got it going again. But it works, after a couple of weeks' frustration. I've book marked that site and would recommend it to anyone with that particular printer.
Cheers Sarum..
