When I give print command in any application then firstly the message appears that "DOCUMENT FAILED TO PRINT" then I tried troubleshooting through Windows, I updated the drivers also but nothing helped so far.
Then after a gap of some time say three mins. approx., the document starts printing !
How to solve this problem and what is it all about?
It is set to Spool Print Documents so program finishes printing faster and also to Start printing immediately!
Yes it worked correctly earlier but a few moths back when the printer's driver and printer's cd got corrupted, I had to update the drivers from the HP Website and thereafter this problem started.
I mean to say that when I do the repair from the CD, I get the message that some file appears to be corrupt or missing and insert the correct CD containing that file and the repair stops!
How long far away from the computer is the printer? Meaning how long is the cable connected to it? It's a parallel printer, correct? Or connected via a parallel cable?
Have you tried manually removing every trace of the HP software and drivers, then going back to the original drivers? Sometimes to remove HP software, you have to manually delete registry entries. They should have some manual uninstallation instructions either on the HP website, or and uninstall.bat file on the software cd.
