When I had a similar problem on our HP870, the HP technician suggested
emptying the Windows Temp folder and going into my browser settings and
reconfiguring the cache to 2% or lower.  It worked.  These are Pentium 166
workstations that print over a network on proxy server.  We would get out of
paper errors, or the print job would stop halfway thru.  something to try.
He claimed competing resources.  I've thought of increasing the printer RAM,
but haven't gotten around to doing it.
