https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/sluggish-882c-with-win-98/m-p/2418905#M406 Recently upgraded to Win 98, had printer problems ever since. Tried <BR />everything!! Had 722C worked great with Win 95, following upgrade to 98, <BR />file\print and properties windows take tooo long to open and even longer to <BR />execute print job. installed correct driver, port setting are correct, nothing <BR />worked. Gave up and got an 882C thinking new printer no problems. Exactly <BR />same thing happens with new printer. <BR />Also when print in Word, OK button does not get dark outline like used to when <BR />OK is clicked. System seems as if it is frozen but printer does eventually <BR />execute command. When print from internet, OK button seems top function <BR />properly, although it still takes too long for print windows to open, but not <BR />as long as in Word, Excel etc. Sun, 27 Feb 2000 20:19:30 GMT Doug Olen 2000-02-27T20:19:30Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/sluggish-882c-with-win-98/m-p/2418905#M406 Recently upgraded to Win 98, had printer problems ever since.

Bypassing the spooler by printing directly <BR />will check if your basic communication from computer to printer is setup <BR />correctly. If this works, the file that the jobs are spooled to may be <BR />corrupt.<BR /><BR />Good Luck,<BR />--Gerard Wed, 01 Mar 2000 14:05:48 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/sluggish-882c-with-win-98/m-p/2418906#M407 Gerard Laygui 2000-03-01T14:05:48Z
