#Printer/Cable errors
8 messages in this thread
I am having problems with the Status message "Printer not responding – check
cable, power supply." I have checked and used a different cable, reinstalled
the driver. Does anyone have any other suggestions? backgournd: I just
realized that I was not running on Turbo mode at 66mhz, but at 10 when I
installed, so I reinstalled the drivers. No help. Thanks in advance for any
suggestions. Pam
I have the same problem – it drives me nuts. I also posted a message asking
for help, no response yet. Good luck. If you find any info, could you forward
it tome? Thanks.
I am having the same Printer Status window problem intermittently. I have also
gone through changing cables, LPT ports etc. I now suspect the PC interrogation
speed is too fast for the printer to respond, which I think means HP still has
a driver problem. I can't believe that so many people on this forum are
evidently having the same problem and no-one from HP has come forward with a
solution. The latest driver I got hold of is version 31.V1.50 which is
supposedly good for Windows 3.1 and Windows for Work Groups 3.11, but I still
have the problem. (If you want to try that driver yourself its in Library 4 as
L4WIN3.ZIP).
What version of the Status Monitor (WIndows Printing System) are you using?
Several poeple have said that v1.35 clears up problems caused by earlier
versions. You can get it from HP Distribution by calling 303-339-7009
I am using v1.5 which sounds like the later version but I will try 1.35 and let
you know. TIA

Thanks for responding and letting me know there is a driver which might help.
I am working under Windows for Workgroups so I was glad to see you mention that
it helps. I hope HP generates a fix soon! Thanks again.
