Hi, if it worked before the motherboard upgrade then there's a good chance
you just need to enable bi-directional printing in your BIOS and reinstall
the
print drivers clean.
If that's not it, hopefully, you never plugged the printer to your pc with
power
on; I/O control PWB could be damaged. It won't be memory related because
inkjets, bubblejets, dot matrix all print per line spooled and not by the
page.

good luck -yui shin
