Network printer not printing properly

Hello Begg, I don't think your solution is right. I agree, Silly

Puddy isn't clear either "printer stopped printing properly".

If we asume the printer didn't print anymore after a while,
it is a cable-conectivity / or firewall problem.


XP Service Pack 2 has a new feature
DEPdata execution prevention (DEP). This precents code execution in memory regions already marked as storage. This is a powerful tool against buffer overrun exploits.

If a program is failing and you want to disable DEP to see if that is the cause. Here are the steps. (Just disable DEP for the program in question... don't disable it for your whole system.)

1. Click Start
2. Select Control Panel
3. Select System
4. Click the Advanced tab
5. In the Performance region select Settings
6. Click the Data Execute tab in the dialog box that opens
7. Select Turn on DEP for all programs and services except for those I select
8. Click Add.
9. The open dialog box will open. Browse and select your application. (printer software in this case)
10. Click Open
11. Click Apply
12. Click Ok
13. Reboot

Hi Silly,
Try going to the Add/Remove programs and remove the drivers for your printer, then reboot, reinstall then, connect to the network printer, and try again,

Good luck.
