HP Printer crashing my computer...

OK I have a HP PSC750 printer for which I usually keep the power off. When I want to print someting out I will hit the power button, but about 30% of the time when I turn on my printer it causes my computer to crash. I get a blue screen of death saying the computer is performing a physical memory dump and the pc restarts.

I'm running Win2k pro edition. I don't have the slightest clue why this may be happening. Anyone out there have any ideas?

 

Hi excaliru,

It's possible you have to reinstall your drivers, you can download them there :

If the problem persists, you may post the content of your BSOD.
To avoid the automatic reboot in case of BSOD :
right click on the MyComputer icon of your desktop;
select Properties;
select the Advanced tab;
click the button Start up & Recovery;
uncheck the Automatic restart box.
In case of BSOD, you will have the time to write the text.

 

Thanks, I will give that a try. Seems I have to download a new driver...maybe that is causing the problem. I guess I will see in due time.
