Carelessly, I seem to have lost the ability to print to my HP DeskJet 890C.
Been messing with setting up a network and now it doesnt work.
If I send a doc to print, the printer icon momentarily appears in the
taskbar then disappears again. If I open the printer box, there are no
documents queud!.
I went through the trouble shooting guide and can print from a command
prompt, so its not the connection or the actual printer.
Its connected to LPT 1 on my main PC and shows up in the printer folder as
online and ready to print.
Tried lots of different settings, uninstalled the printer and then
re-installed it etc and still no go, driving me crazy
please help
Regards

Remove the Printer,all it's software and drivers.Clean registry with
RegscrubXP,
http://www.geocities.com/sheppola/freeprog.html
Re-install and then check the Printer's configuration Software either
within the printer's own software or through the Control Panel/Printer
and make sure it's setup correctly.Also visit the Support/FAQS at the
maker's site.

Thanks shep
will try the reg cleaner on your website and let you know.
The HP site is crap for on line FAQ or help.
You cant even download a stand alone driver for XP, it just tells you to use
the one embedded in XP

This is really driving me nuts
Even tried deleting every reference to the printer in the registery manually
and that didnt work.
Any other things I could try?

Although I have to admit to XP being the best so far
