| Vista x64 | Can't print to HP G55xi from Vista x64 I have a Vista x64 machine. Vista detects my printer (HP G55xi) and I can print OK to it. After some time passes, if I try to print again the status just shows as "Error-Printing". If I restart the machine, the document will print. I have tried reinstalling the driver for the printer, I determined Vista contains a basic driver for the printer. After printing and waiting some, I can no longer print. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks |

| Vista x64 | Re: Can't print to HP G55xi from Vista x64 It is connected to the USB port. I went into Device Manager and ensured each USB Root hub does not have the "Allow the computer to turn off to save power" checked. |

| Vista x64 | Re: Can't print to HP G55xi from Vista x64 So I decided to move the printer over to my WinXP machine and then share out. I am now able to print from my Vista machine. But I can't scan, unless the printer is local. So I either need to figure why I can't print from Vista when local or scan when remote. |

| Vista x64 | Re: Can't print to HP G55xi from Vista x64 Definately seems putting the machine into Sleep mode causes the problem. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? After in Sleep mode document just get stuck and you can't restart the Print Spooler. |
