Printing problems with Windows Vista

I have Windows Vista. Every day or two if I am printing in Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, PDF, etc., the application crashes. The job does not print and gets stuck in the print queue.  This forces me to go in Control Panel > systems & maintenance > administrative tools > Services. I double click Services and scroll down to print spooler where I double click and stop and start the print spooler.  I have then to restart my machine.  I have a HP Color LaserJet CM2320 MFP Series PCL 6. What can I do to stop the gel applications programs and still print?

Thank you

Make sure that you have downloaded and installed the latest version of Vista printer drivers specific to the web site of the manufacturer of the printer according to the instructions of the manufacturer.

  • Activation problem with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition

    Recently, I had a problem with my office that was running Windows Xp Pro.   After having tried to reformat the computer with my installation disc, something was holding me back upwards.  Thus, recently bought a laptop with Windows vista on it I used the disc that comes with it.  Note: I ordered this laptop for Windows 7, vista is no longer running on this laptop.  Everything installed very well on my office with the exception of one problem it won't let me activate windows.  Now, it's my copy of windows vista that I paid for.  It runs on a single computer in my office.  I have validated my software on my desktop and it's been validated.  Now why not activate Windows Vista?

    If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

    The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

    A single license is a single Installation.

  • Printing problems with Windows 7

    Since moving to Windows 7, I have problems printing.  What you see is not what you get.  For all programs (Word, Excel, Access) - the info is being printed as if it is printing on a 8.25 x 10.25 instead of 8 x 11 paper size.  I can't print labels because they don't properly space.  NOT SATISFIED WITH WINDOWS 7!

    If you're happy with Windows 7 is of course your choice.
    but I would point out that the problem you are experiencing is not a problem
    with Windows 7. The problem is with the driver that you use for your
    printer (and drivers are written by the printer manufacturers, not by)
    (Microsoft). Either you have the wrong driver or the driver has bugs
    it. or you can use the wrong driver.

    It's just a guess, but my guess is that you have the wrong driver.
    Check with the manufacturer of your printer, either by phone or on their web
    site for the right pair.

    Model: Satellite A200-1d(a)

    Background: Recommended for a parent, now transformed into 'support harassment ".

    The behavior of Windows Mail is displayed is non-standard and unreliable, for example:

    Creating new folders local they are initially displayed in the list of folders (left sidebar), if the mail is restarted they disappear and reappear only if they are selected after clicking on "local folders". Other than the Inbox, local folders and the Microsoft? (used for notes, etc.), all the other default folders are missing, either sent, sent, drafts box, etc.

    Another minor issue is that windows mail does not seem to recognize when the status of the internet connection changes from unavailable to available, in order to empty the Outbox and send emails, it is necessary to restart windows Messaging.

    A number of occasions, all messages disappear from your Inbox and all other folders are not available, the only solution to this problem seems to be a reboot of the laptop.

    This link seems to suggest that there is a problem with the security software which is now Norton Internet Security (configured and bundled with the laptop):

    Hello

    I can't provide an exactly the solution to this problem of Vista Mail but to me, it looks like a Microsoft Vista operating system problem and not Toshiba Satellite.
    I don t think there could be a problem with the hardware that's why we should look for solutions.

    Now you will ask where a software solution? In my opinion, you should check the knowledge base Microsoft for some useful tips.

  • Problems with Windows Vista update error code I get is Code: 80096001

    Hi gang,.

    I need help I can get at this point. I am currently working on a machine to a customer who had the rootkit zero.access top. The machine works like a champ, now that it is all clean; but for some reason any Windows Vista refuses to update. Let me mention the operating system before proceeding. The operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. When I try to run Windows Update, the machine has a total of seven updates to install; This is especially important and option. In the important section, the machine is trying to install a security update and that is 9. In the optional section, the machine is trying to install the driver as updates: video, network, etc. The PC is already running Service Pack2. The error code I get is: 80096001. I tried every fix that Microsoft recommends, even the Microsoft Fix It tool. Nothing seems to work. I had a simular problem before in Windows XP. If my memory is good, I had to go to the entry in the registry of Windows Update and apply a DWORD here, or something; I don't remember exactly what I did. I can tell you that I checked the registry and there is literally no key to change in Windows Update. Any help or advice would be great, this question is about to drive me crazy.

    Thank you
