First of all, we need to focus on the fact that SeeknFind is not a PC
Help type of list. We very much want to help you, but we have to first
try to help you by the concept of our list.
In searching for an answer for you, earlier, I was at the CNet Help
site and read about 8 answers to a USENET post of much the same
question you asked.

Lots of Luck with that URL. :-)
One of the answers indicated that the problem you described was an
inherent problem of some HP printers. I sort of discounted that
answer, myself.
A few other answers suggested disk maintenance chores such as cookie
cleaning, temp file deletions, etc. And even the scandisk I suggested.
Scandisk is run to clean up any lost clusters.
Fortunately, HP has one of the best web site support features in all
the WWW. This is what they suggest for your problem:

You can follow their advice. There are also disk maintenance utilities
available to help you clean unwanted and unneeded files such at .tmp
files. There are cookie management programs to clean your cookie
files. We can locate programs like this for you, but none of those are
really necessary because you can pretty easily do this manually using
the browser itself or Windows Exploring file manager.
Clean cookies:
Tools | Internet Options....Temporary Internet Files | Settings {button}
View Files {button}...Viola, you are looking at your cookies. Delete
at will.
You probably ought to clean out your cache, as well:
Tools | Internet Options...Temporary Internet Files |
Delete files {button}
As you can see, the IE5.00 and above stores our cookies in the same
file as our cached files:
c:\Windows\Local Files\Temporary Internet Files
You can alternately simply clean cookies from the Windows Explorer file
manager.
Now look inside c:\Windows\Temp
If you have any files inside that directory, then delete them. If
Windows does not allow you to delete any file at that time, just leave
it alone for now. Windows is probably using it at that moment. But
clean out what you can get rid of.
Okay...lastly...here is your Printer's Support page:

Lots of good stuph there for ya.
...and if you'll follow the yellow brick road, you can learn how you
can order yourself a manual for your printer.
