I've never heard a printer play a tune before........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sounds like ur printer has to be switched "ON" before you power up your pc (or before windows starts to load)

what printer is it ?
 
To sum up, the Deskjet 932c prints very well but slowly and its inks are very expensive. Our advice is to use it sparingly.

Note that when connected to a PC running Windows XP, the device is automatically recognized and installed. The user has access to a generic driver which is fully usable and compatible. It is however less practical than the original if you want to refine your print options. So it would still be better to install the driver supplied with the device or download the latest version.

Try the latest drivers from HP or re-install your existing drivers....
 
i have a DJ930C & have similar problems with USB printing. I keep getting a printing error or it just won't print.

If the printer is left on, it just won't print. I have to turn it off, un-plug it from USB & re-insert the plug..it'll print ok then. I've contacted HP, they are a stupid lot!!

I've re-installed & used the latest drivers..no fix.

It worked OK with win98..i believe it's XP!

one thing to check is that the USB root hub "power management" is un-ticked. This turns off the printer. Look in ontrol panel/hardware/device manager/USB controllers//USB root hub.
