Try to find the latest drivers online for the two HP printers and the
Veho slide scanner. If the problem started after you installed the Veho
slide scanner then there may be some incompatibility between the older
HP drivers and the scanner software?
Or you could remove the VRT scanner software and see if that fixes the
problem.
I don't use HP printers and I'm not familiar with Veho. You troubleshoot
problems like this by determining when they started and go from there.
