i'm using xp home edition sp2 and an epson photo R800. The problem is, when I print a document or photo, I sometimes have to wait upto a couple of hours for it to print. I have changed the print priority to 99 but still the same. I have re-installed the drivers and checked all the settings and i can't see anything thats different as it used to print immediatly. I have tried changing to print immediatly after first page/after last page and everything else i can think of. I also have another PC on my w/less network sharing this printer but this has the same delay.

I have run the troubleshooters but to no avail.
How can I print a page that is longer than the screen?For example, a page that has to be scrolled down to see its entire contents.I am referring,specifically ,to the left side or the right side of the Windows Explorer ''directory'' or ''folders'' or ''files'' pages, which are much longer than one screen. Is there any way, using only Windows XP, that I can print those long scrolling LISTS of folders, or program files, or data files that are two or three screens in length?
i have a problem when i click on an item (this only happens sumtimes like 50% of the time) it takes forEVER! ! i mean forever seriously and then it opens in like 20 or 30 mins
After right-clicking or hitting delete on a file, I have a 15-20s wait before anything happens. After doing it once, it is fast to do so to the next file (doing a few rar's or something), but as soon as I don't touch any files for about a minute or two, it goes back to the huge delay to perform anything. I've tried defragging and unchecking 'Automatically search for network folders and printers'.
haii all techies i have a problem which has been pissing me for almost 3 weeks... As i start up my computer i become stuck with the desktop background after the welcome screen and the desktop icons and start button arrive too late almost taking more than 8 minutes... i am sure windows has loaded and i could hear the start up sound but not the icons and taskbar which appears only after long time.i have analyzed this problem for all these weeks ..i have come up with the conclusion that its a RPC(Remote Procedure Call) which is creating this problem..i diagnosed this when i could still start up task manager when i have desktop background and i end an svchost.exe process....Suddently a shutdown screen with a time down count of 1 minute appears saying that(RPC has been unexpectedly terminated..the system is going to shut down..save ur work..blah blah) ...But then all icons starts appearing and taskbar gets loaded...i rush into run command and type "shutdown -a" and the screen closes and i continue my work..
When I turn on my lap top, Acer Travelmate 2355LC, there are a couple of quiet clicks, then nothing. If left for about 10 minutes, it starts up normaly. Sometimes it starts normally from the beginning.It has an Intel Celron M360 processor (1.4 GHz, 400 MHz FSB, 1MB L2 cache) 40 BG HDD 256MB DDR, I've cleaned everything up. Should I try and repair? I would like to avoid reformatting if possible.
I'm running XP home SP2. I have MS Office 2003 with all updates. The problem I'm having is when I double click on any MS office file (powerpoint, word, excel, etc), it takes about 1-3 minutes to open. When I look at the task manager, the CPU is 99% idle and no task appears to be using many resources. It's not the anti-virus SW because I've removed it from the system and still have this problem. It's also not network related because I've removed it from all networks and still have the problem. If I open the program that the file is associated with (ie MS word for a *.doc file) and then select file/open, it opens fine. I don't think it's just a MS office problem, because the same thing occurs when I try to click on a weblink within a document or application. It takes 1-3 minutes for IE explorer to open and go to the web page. I think it may be due to some security patch, but I don't know which one.
When my Toshiba laptop (p4 2.8, 768mb ram) boots up, the desktop background appears, but nothing else does for about 45 seconds. In the meantime, I can move my mouse freely and invoke taskmanager to start programs (File... new task). I'm pretty sure that this problem is not due to an excess of startup programs but instead due to some setting or manual time delay.
I have a DOS based accounting system that I have used for years and I print to various printers on my network using the "NET USE" command. It has worked just fine until recently when it started taking 10 to 20 minutes to execute a "NET USE LPT1: /DELETE" command or to have a printout send to the printer.It seems that the print job is hanging up in my computer (DEL Inspirion 8200 WinXP) because the DOS application hangs up until it finally prints. I have just testing printing from a Windows application and it does the same thing. The printer that I am trying to print to is attached to a Win2000/Red Hat Linux dual-boot server and does the same thing no matter how the server is booted up.
I have a program called capital that we use for our point of sale.I had to replace a computer that died and the new one has Xp on it the old one had winodws 98 on it. The printer is on the win98 system and I want to make a network printer to it to print to but the problem its a dos program that will only print to LTP1.
I have a dell desktop p4 2.4ghz w/ 1 gig Ram. For the past month or so, I have been having printer freeze-ups. I have a HP1012 hooked driectly via USB, and 3 other networked printers (2 HP and a Brother laserfax printer). The weird parts - it will freeze randomly, and will freeze when printing to any of the printers!! I may go a week between freezes, or a day. When it freezes, I can not bring up the "PRINTER and FAXES" in windows, and when I click on the printer icon in my time tray, nothing happens. I then must usually cntrl-alt-del to end whatever program was printing, then restart. When I try to restart, I always get an "Explorer can not close" message and must "end now", before it will turn off, and then it will take forever in the "Windows is shutting down" screen before it reboots.
I want to print a list of all the programs I have on my pc, as I am wanting to do a total re-install. I have used the 'uninstall list' from highjack this, but not all of the programs are listed. There are shortcuts on my desktop, which are not in the program list.can I get a complete list of all the programs.
I have a LaserJet 1160 printer that is connected by USB (computer has no parallel port). Using Windows XP and have automatic updates turned on. This is a business computer, connected to a network.Early last week I came into find my computer had been restarted after a Windows automatic update. Didn't think to much about it. I went to print and my printer had disappeared from the system. I reinstalled (or tried) the printer and it took 3 or 4 tries. I kept getting errors (0x800703F2) about the DOT4USB driver not being able to be installed. Finally I was able to get the printer installed. It installed by the "Add new printer" option in the printer control panel after the 3rd or 4th time.
So, I have my printer now. Unfortunately it is extremely slow now when printing through Windows. It's like the printer is not getting the information very fast from the computer. This printer has always printed very fast. The status light would blink maybe twice before printing started on a full document. Now it blinks for 20+ seconds to just print a 4 word sentence from Microsoft Word. The only time it prints fast is when I print from inside a VPN connection (we connect to another company to run one program and from inside there is prints very fast).I've tried HP tech support but the printer prints fine when I hook it up to my laptop. I've replaced the USB cable, switched it to several USB ports on the computer, tried to update all of the drivers (that DOT4USB shows as a hardware update in Windows Updater every time but the installation fails). I'm at my wits end with this! I find myself directing 1+ page documents to a network printer outside of my office because the printer is just so slow.
When I go to device manager, under "Universal Serial Bus controller" the first one named "hp LaserJet 1160 series (DOT4USB)" has a yellow exclamation point over it. When I go to properties it says the drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28). Of course, when I try to install the drivers from this area I get a message that it "cannot install this Hardware. An error occurred during the installation of the device. The configuration registry key is invalid." I've googled that for days and can't find any help with it.
When i get a message in hotmail which has a couple of pictures tagged on the bottom it will only print the text and not the pictures unless it all fits on one page .If several pages are required only the first page shows any pictures,the other pages come out blank apart from the hotmail menu on the left hand side.
We rebooted the computer yesterday and when it all came up i had the followin error. xlm page cannot be displayed. underneath it has the following ///c:/documents and settings/candy/localsetting/temp/mr... Does this mean anything to any one.
when i send a print job from a Windows XP computer, i do not see the printer icon that used to appear on the bottom right hand conner of the screen (where the time is displayed). What setting could have gone wrong?
Two identical Dell PCs each with XP Home SP1, and a different USB printer on each.Both printers behave the same.On booting the PC and printing a document, the first page may or may not print, but then the printer goes to Offline mode.
I have XP set up with user accounts for each family member with myself as administrator and everyone else as limited accounts.Is there a way that I can disable printing from some of the user accounts? My 3yo daughter has a habit of printing stuff by accident 10 or so times.
My HP 7310 hesitates when I request a print job. The paper loads but then I wait about 30 to 40 seconds before it prints. It will not do multiple pages without the hesitation either. I've removed the HP software and reloaded several times and even HP has not come up with an solution. They said XP Serv Pac 3 was the problem and I removed it but the printer still acts the same.
Running Window XP pro SP3 DFI lanparty motherboard (Ultra D)Has OZC power supply GSX700. The problem I am seeing is it takes 20-30 seconds for the power to come on after you push the power button. I have never see one do this.
When I click on a button I get a clicking sound which is OK when changing a page etc, but the clicking sound also clicks every 40 sec's or so, and is quite annoying, dose anybody know why it dose this, and can it be stopped.I diden't notice it when I had ME but now I have XP Pro it is very loud.
It seems like just now I am not be able to print anything when i am on Internet explorer. I just to preview and/or print. No When I try to print it doesn't do anything if i try to preview it bring the preview page with noting in it. I can print any document or anything except when I'm on Internet explorer.
We have recently installed a PC of software that need an agent "pushed" out to each users PC. We also had turn on the file and print share option for all PC's. But since doing so, people are now getting a yellow dialogue bubble pop up in their sys tray EVERY time they print. I have been told that this may be a policy in GPO, can anyone give me any ideas where I could start looking?
I've been unable to find the (assumed) setting that no longer enables me to print any online page without the right margins being cut off...sometimes up to 1.5 inches of the page. So frustrated that I started using Firefox 3 months ago but the freezing after a day of use or using Acrobat drove me away from that browser.
I have a printer installed but when i try to print it keeps saying if i want to install the printer. And when i click yes it says: Operation could not be completed And when i try to delete my printer it says: Printer cannot be removed. The Print Spooler service is not running. And then i click RUN i type in services.msc and enter. Down the services list i go to Print Spooler and double click it. It says "Service status: Stopped". Well then i click start and after bout 10 seconds it goes back to stopped again
Having looked at a few previous threads on your forums, you seem to be pretty intelligent so I guess this is the best place to post my problem, Recently I purchased one of those quadcore machines (Q6600) with a blank HD, so installed XP Pro + SP2. There was errors when installing SP2 (and SP1, when I tried that), where by it gets so far, then just freezes. Having left it for hours to try and resume, it didn't, and I was forced to end the task. When I rebooted the machine I was prompted to uninstall SP2 as it wasn't installed correctly? This wasn't an option for me, as I NEEDED to install msn IM lol anyhow.When I boot my machine up, just before the logon screen loads where it says something along the lines of "Windows is starting up...", it just stays on that for ages (several minutes!) before continuing to load the logon screen. Once the logon screen appears, everything else is fine.
I am having 2 problems.1.) Fixed 2.) Delay At Boot Up, Black Screen With Blinking Cursor When rebooting my PC, a black screen comes on with a cursor blinking for about 10-30 seconds, and then it proceeds to show the Windows XP splash logo, is there anyway to prevent or stop this black screen with the cursor, as it slows down the boot time.
