Problem - HP Photosmart PRO B8850

I have a HP B8850 printer and all of sudden it has decided to only print one picture and then you need to turn it off to print another.

I am running Windows 7. I have tried to reload the drivers, different programs and everything that HP has suggested.

Also tried my laptop, same results.

There are others that have the same problem. I am starting to believe that the printer is the problem.

Has anyone on UHH had the same problem and a solution?

Sounds like the print spooler is failing to reset. That would be a Windows issue if that was your problem.

It could be the spooler.

I try the printer on my Linux computer and it works fine on it.

I have removed all HP programs and drivers and will start over again.

I'll keep UHH posted on the results.

Hi MT Shooter,

I did check into the spooler.

If I disabled it the HP8850 worked as it should.

I found a fix on the web on how clean out all printer drivers using regedit. I tried it on my laptop and seemed to fix the problem.

Glad it worked.
