This HP PSC 1315 all-in-one (printer, scanner and copier) is giving me nothing but headaches. I've tried it on two PCs (one WinXP SP1, the other, SP2) and it has the same problems. I'll try and explain:
When I connect it thru the USB, the PCs don't recognize it (that "Safetly Remove Hardware" systray icon has to show). It takes minutes to, and when it starts up, I can print, but as it prints, it stops = the PC stops recognizing the printer (the icon gones away). If I print a high-res image, it only does 10 to 20% of it, and goes off. :suspiciou I can't cancel any tasks in that printer queue window. Spoolsv.exe starts using up 100% of the cpu. I end it in Task Manager and restart it in Admin Tools > Services > Print Spooler.
I tried this: http://torque.oncloud8.com/archives/000384.html but didn't work.
Then there's this: When the printer's recognized, I unplug & replug in the USB cable = the printer still works. But! If I unplug and replug the power cable, it stays off. Maybe something's up with the power cable?
Hope I explained this as best I can.
Help?
