This printer was working fine. I got a new computer and installed the
latest HP all in one drivers from the web, device was recognized and
test page was OK. I noticed it wouldn't print from windows applications.
It would start and just eject a blank page. The windows test page also
resulted in a blank eject. The HP toolbox can talk to the printer and
*it* prints the diagnostic page fine. Scan and copy from the panel works
fine, and get this: there is a networked Linux printer and it prints out
fine to the shared windows printer!
It is not a cable or hardware problem.
I also have a networked Lexmark printer and lexmark software. There is a
printer on a lan switch (not attached to any computer) This printer
works fine.
I tried the HP uninstall applet and reinstalled. I reverted to the
original drivers from the CD that came with the printer. No luck.
I installed HP 550c drivers from windows and this allows me to print.
I am running up to date WIN XP home SP2.

How can a Linux box work as a SMB share but not the local printer?
Why does the 550C driver work, not the 166MB HP download?
Why does the HP toolbox test page work, but anything from a windows
application or the test page just turns up a blank?
Could there be a conflict with Lexmark drivers?
Before I had both coexisting on an old computer running XP PRO.
Thanks for any help!
