Printer not functioning correctly on new HP Pavilion g7 Notebook.

Hey

After I got my new laptop, my mom had wanted to print a few things off of some websites. After the installation of my Printer (HP Officejet V40) onto my new laptop (HP Pavilion g7-2010nr Notebook PC), I tried printing those things. But there were always problems with each of the printing attempts.

1. There was always an error in the Printing Queue that didn't let me print anything.
2. When I printed off of Google Chrome, one or more of the pages would be skipped unless it was the last line or so at the bottom.
3. The sites don't print out correctly sometimes or the printer stops suddenly after 1-2 pages
4. At the end sometimes it just randomly ejects a blank sheet.

I've tried using the troubleshooter and it says it is fixed, but the errors keep happening. I don't know if I should get a new printer or not..because school is in 2 weeks for me and I need a printer.

See This post, many have the same/similar problems.

I tried the suggestions both gave me and it still has not been resolved.

Can you describe better how the printer is connected and how the laptop connects to it i.e is the printer hardwired to a fixed PC and the laptop connects across a network or is the printer wireless and the laptop connects directly to it ?.

Well. The printer is a printer by itself. It connects to my laptop via usb cable. Not sure if that helps :/

Bash I'm not sure what you mean?

I think I got it working again! :) I downloaded the Install Wizard and now my Printer is working great with my new laptop. +1 To you bass :)
