    Spooler pauses on last page

    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.

    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.
