Printing problem : port DOT4_001

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

Hi all,

I'm having the following problem with my printer: the first time I start it,
I can print and fax without a problem. If I switch the printer off, for any
reason, then switch it on again, I can't print anymore or fax, or whatever.

As the troubleshooter said, I went to see which port is used for my printer
and I found it installed on the port DOT4_001. Is this normal? Could this be
the source of the problem?

not necessarily. DOT4 is supported over USB for many of the HP
multifunction devices
