With my printer, I was having problems with the PPT mode set to ECP/EPP and EPP, but the problems went away when I set the mode to either ECP or normal. Actually, I don't think this is the case with your printer, but I thought I would give it a shot. I think it's a thing with the HP printers that they seem to not work very well unless you use polling. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
