This printer is actually my friend's. We installed the PS driver. After reading your comments, I found this HP site. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=bpm00551
I will have to check on the DIMM. Sounds like it needs 6MB in order to work correctly. I will get back to you on the printer cable manufacturer. Someone had suggested I install an alternate usb driver. http://buymelunch.org/printing/usbtb/ I will report back after we've tried all these. Thanks for your time.
