I'm fairly sure that there is a more recent version of the PS driver for NT.... yup - claims to be dated 2002-1-23
here's a link: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?pnameOID=21691&locale=en_US&taskId=135&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=27718&submit.y=4&submit.x=4&cc=us#Microsoft%20Windows%20NT%204.0 You can try it, but it hasn't solved the problem for us. If your file consistently crashes the printer, I'd love to have a copy!!! In all the testing I've done, I have yet to be able to consistently reproduce the error. HP has basically told me that unless I can consistently reproduce the crash, there's nothing they can do to help us. When one of my co-workers has some free time this summer, I'm going to try and get him to make a gadget that will let me power cycle the printer remotely and get a webcam so I can see the control panel! Does anyone know if the same problem exists with XP as a client? We'll have mostly XP clients this fall, so I guess I'll find out then for sure!
