Printer Calibrates but Doesn't Print

I have a HP 1210 - All-in-one Printer installed on Windows XP Pro (USB
Port). All indications are that the communications are working fine between
the computer and printer, I can even run the calibration. However when I
try to print the test page, or anything else, the printer icon appears in
the task bar for a short time and then disappears without printing anything.
It also appears in the Document Print List and then disappears without
printing anything.

I have tried reinstalling the drivers and resetting the printer and
computer.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Sure sounds like a driver issue to me. I'd try starting in safe mode.
Before you do anything drastic like reinstalling windows try a new USB cable
