| | HP720C won't print I bought a USB to parallel adapter, plugged it in, and it worked GREAT! Now, 2 weeks later my HP Deskjet 720C quit printing. Applications seem to put the document into the spooler correctly, but the spooler errors out. I have tried deleting and reinstalling the printer, but no luck so far. |

| | Re: HP720C won't print I enabled hidden devices, but the display is exactly the same as before. I have 12 items listed under USB controllers. None of them tell me which is which. I have one named "Unknown device", and I think this is the printer. It used to say "USB Printer" or something like that. I have tried updating the driver to no avail As for "remove USB support and add it back" I don't know what you mean. Could you please give me less cryptic instructions?

That's why I had to use the USB adapter. I removed everything I could find relating to printer support and then plugged into a different USB port. It reinstalled and is working again. |

It reinstalled and is working again. but noone seems to get any answers that work AND HP don't care. I've lost my faith in HP so I will get an USB adapter to solve the problem and later chose an other supplier. Best Regards NisseO |

I replaced mine with a HP PS8250 a while before VISTA came along (it's discontinued now but there are other HP Vivera 02 ink printers available) and I certainly do not regret it. Sometimes we do have to bite the bullet -- or not upgrade the OS. |
