    Print jobs don't reach the printer


    I recently changed my printer and installed an HP1510. This printer is installed with my wife's computer as the host and my computer sharing on the network. It all worked for several docs then docs sent from my computer started to disappear. Sometimes there is an indication that the doc has been sent to the printer,other times nothing. The system worked ok with the previous printer an HP 2200. The printer works ok with the host computer. This seems to have been a problem some time ago but I haven't been able to find any recent complaints so I am wondering if it was finally sorted out. I have tried the recomendations from windows and the forums without success,including removing windows updates back to the time the printer was printing ok. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello billhanley,

    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer itself?
    Do you get spool errors? Or could you provide us with the error details.

    You could also go through these threads, see if they might help:
