HP 1020 printer won't print
Running Windows 7 32-bit with a laserjet 1020
printer stopped working. Uninstalled - reinstalled with original install disk. Re-re-installed with updated drivers. Changed printer cable. Tried uninstalling then reinstalling a different laserjet 1020 (ie different printer - same model).
would not print.
If I try to print - the job goes to the queue, and sits there - because 'work offline' has somehow become checked.
un-checking 'work off-line' causes an error
running troubleshoot fixes the error by removing the job from the queue and re-checking 'work off-line' .
in each case there are files windows designates as 'shockwave flash objects' (I'm guessing the designation is incorrect and these are actually the print jobs). Shutting down the spooler - deleting these objects and turning the spooler back on doesn't seem to help.
I installed the 1020 printer to another windows 7 32-bit computer and it works fine. So there seems to be some problem with this particular Windows machine which is preventing the printer from working. Any known software conflicts?
