Hal,

Have you tried re-installing the software? Or
unistall the original either with it's own
uninstall program or through control panel,
add/remove programs, then reinstall the drivers.

Have you ran scandisk to see if any other
problems are around?

Were settings changed (accidently or otherwise)
in the printers control panel that could cause
this?

Best of luck!
