USB printers give problems


Recommended Posts

Hi,

just found a very annoying bug. my HP 1010 comes with a facility to print both sides but if you do this on Vista you're in for a bumpy ride.

the port gets stuck and cannot delete the print job. it remains in the memory and whatever you do (delete the print job, delete printer, restart, ...) doesn't work.

i had to delete from device manager the printer ports, restart a couple of times and then it worked. not sure if by luck or because this was the solution. i think vista doesn't allow to delete the printer if there is a job in it.

stay safe,

M

Vista is beta, so this not breaking news. Drivers will not start working out-of-the blue as they did in XP. That would be wishful thinking.

Now that you've found the bug, report it in Connect, if you are an official tester ...
