Does the printer give an error when it stops or does it just stop? I had a
problem with my HP 820CSE since upgrading my PC from a Pentium 200MMX to a
PII 400. For some reason I was getting communication errors after the
first page or two printed.
I went to the HP website and found nothing that I hadn't already tried.
Anyway, while poking around the new PC's BIOS settings I noticed that when
using ECP on LPT1 there was as DMA address of 3. I tried changing that to
DMA address of 1 and my problems went away. I don't know why this would
work but it has...Just my $.02...
