printing problem with particular documents Will G 12/29/2008 7:12:01 PM Each time I try to print a document it stops at the same point. Subsequent attempts to print other documents (which normally print OK) then fail, unless I clear the print queue and reboot PC and printer. I have two documents that cause this problem. Any ideas?

RE: printing problem with particular documents Idaho Word Man 12/29/2008 9:14:01 PM That kind of behavior usually means that there is "something" in the document at that point that your printer doesn't like. Often it's a big graphic that the printer's memory just can't handle. If there is a graphic on the page after the point at which your printer stops, try cutting it out of the document (with change tracking OFF), pasting it into a graphics program, and saving it as something else (JPEGs work pretty well). Then insert that something else back into your document. Sometimes that works. I hope that helps. Fred "Will G" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Each time I try to print a document it stops at the same point.

Re: printing problem with particular documents grammatim <grammatim[ at ]verizon.net> 12/29/2008 9:27:08 PM When a print queue gets stuck behind something you tried to cancel, HP suggests unplugging the USB cable between computer and printer, then unplugging the power, then replugging them. It might decide to print the test page, but it does open up the queue.

Re: printing problem with particular documents Will G 12/30/2008 12:32:01 PM Thanks - that gets over the print queue problem. Still struggling with the document.

RE: printing problem with particular documents Will G 12/30/2008 12:34:08 PM The point at which it stops is a small table: I have tried deleting it and replacing it, but it still gives the printer indigestion. Thanks anyway Fred. Will "Idaho Word Man" wrote: [Quoted Text] > That kind of behavior usually means that there is "something" in the document > at that point that your printer doesn't like.
