Mouse versus Printer

[Sins]

I have a PS/2 mouse and an HP-930 colorjprinter. When the printer prints, the mouse stops until the print job is complete. This never happened until I upgraded to XP.

HP support blames it on XP and vice-versa. I had a Canon that allowed me to stack documents in the print queue and continue on without any delays. Help!!

Running XP-home ed., AMD 1.2 Gig with 512 meg

Per chance, is the mouse and the printer on the same IRQ?

Also, if you have a Via chipset get the latest 4 in 1 drivers from Via. Via has a lot of bus weirdness and the driver updates often help.

Make sure you have the latest HP driver: http://h20015.www2.hp.com/en/softwa...c=en&softitem=Microsoft Windows XP&sw_lang=en
