i got that from my Comp Net teacher.

then it said that the printer was out of paper (when it wasn't),

and i figured out that i had the wrong cable. (got that too)

it got installed all fine and dandy,

but now it comes up with a Blue Screen (of Death) -when i try to print- saying:

WINDOWS
A FATAL EXCEPTION 0E HAS OCCURED AT 0018:C16095DA IN VXD LPT (01) + 0000206A. THE CURRENT APPLICATION WILL BE TERMINATED.


Does anyone know printers well and can tell me what this means?

Thanks,

Did anyone find the solution for this problem? I am experiencing the very same thing. The "blue screen of death" isn't exactly a death screen -- because it doesn't halt all operations of the computer, it will not print and doesn't allow you to add/delete printers until you reboot, even though other programs still work

Any advice?

Dropping the printer - rebooting -- then adding back the printer works. But this is a messy work around since it has to be done each day.
