Solution

 

 

 

Close all software programs, restart Windows, and try again.

 

Select a different printer driver. If the device PCL 6 printer

 

driver is selected, switch to the PCL 5 or HP postscript level 3

 

emulation printer driver, which can be done from a software

 

program.

 

Delete all temp files from the Temp subdirectory. Determine

 

the name of the directory by opening the AUTOEXEC.BAT file

 

and looking for the statement "Set Temp =". The name after

 

this statement is the Temp directory. It is usually C:\TEMP by

 

default, but can be redefined.

 

See the Microsoft Windows documentation that came with the

messages.
