I have WindowsXP Pro on a hp laptop. I print to a hp psc1315 all in one printer. When I try to print from Office 2003, mostly publisher, I cannot print, and it hangs my computer.
I have tried going to HP and installing the latest driver, and it still happens I have upgraded my Ram memory to 1 GB and it still happens. The files are large, is there something I'm missing?
I've been through HP assisted support, and Microsoft assisted support, and still have the problem?
I had a similar problem with an HP 1000. In my experience I have found
that there are some printers (or their drivers) that just can't handle
larger print jobs. Sometimes what you think should be a normal print job
is still too big for some printers. Multiple images per page really seem
to choke smaller printers. If you have tried everything, then sometimes
the ONLY solution is to use a bigger better printer.
One workaround I have used for the multiple images problem is to only
print half of a page (or less) at a time. If running the paper through
multiple times causes too much curl, try pressing the pages under heavy
books while they are still hot. It all takes longer but it may be faster
than messing with printer settings all day. (This is NOT recommended for
labels. Running through that fuser multiple times can cause the adhesive
to break down and labels may start coming off in the printer.)
