I just got a brand new HP5000 at work, loaded the driver for it (there
were several on the disk so I chose the PCL6 version) and proceeded to
attempt to print. No problems until I tried to print an Adobe Acrobat
Reader document -- Bingo, the blue screen of death. I reloaded the
acrobat software several times and the HP5000 driver several times.
Without progress, I went to the Acrobat web site and found a Forum that
took questions, just like PCBuild.
What I found out was very interesting. HP Printers, while having the
capacity to have large amounts of memory, will really use the computer's
CPU and memory to run a print job (do all of the calculations for the
bits that are on or off and grey scale etc.). Then the processed info
is dumped into the computer memory.
However, a postscript driver will take the doc and send it to the
printer where the printer's memory is used to format and organize the
info for printing.
After I added the Postscript driver version to Control Panel|Printers
folder, I could print out anything. Regular documents or adobe
postscript documents.
So if you have an HP Printer, and the disk or CDRom happens to have a
postscript driver on it, why not try loading it and try printing with
that driver. See if you still get the conflict message. It can't hurt.
