Vista - Spooler pauses on last page

Mel H · 08-30-2009

I am running Vista 64 Ultimate.

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless and am printing wirelessly.

I have the latest HP driver.

When I print a multipage document, all pages print fine except the last page. The last page prints halfway, waits two minutes and then finishes printing.

If I turn off the spooler, the problem goes away.

If I print from an XP computer, the problem doesn't exist.

If I reboot Vista, the problem goes away. But, after using the computer for a while, the problem reappears.

From which application is this occuring?

It happens on *any* application that prints.

As I said in my original note, a reboot makes the problem go away - for a while. But, eventually, it returns.

Is there a Spooler virus that is not detected by my AVG virus checker?

I'd to a total uninstall and reinstall of the printer..... and make SURE you
include Step 4.
