I'm using XP Pro on a new Dell Dimension 8100, came with SP2. Printing
to a local Brother MFC 2500. I'm able to print docs from email or my
Internet browser, but when I try to print anything from Word or
Notepad, I get an error message saying the Print Failed. After that, I
can no longer print from the email or browser which previously had been
fine. I can print from the command prompt, however. Memory and disk
space are not a problem.
As this is a brand new machine, I am disinclined to think there is a
BIOS problem. From reading various troubleshooting docs at Microsoft
Support, I will next try the Generic/Text Only printer driver. If that
works, does that mean that I would be limited to printing text only
docs?
Have others encountered this and figured out how to resolve it?
TIA
