It looks like I cannot print with my HP710C in Win ME, the HP drivers will always return a message "Lost communication with printer" every time I try to print! If I execute the "Printer communication test" it´s always ok, but whenever I send a page to print, I get the error message, and the three LED´s in the front panel of my printer blink.

It´s not a hardware problem in the printer, because I also have Linux Mandrake installed in my system and it prints OK!!!

Does anybody know if this is an issue of HP drivers (latest version 10.3)?

OK, it seems that no one has an idea of what to do about this issue...
Fortunately, I solved it last night. I simply changed my BIOS setting from "ECP Paralell Port" to "EPP 1.9 Port"

I swear I tried that before and it didn´t work, but las night everything was fine after doing that.
If something goes wrong in the next days, I´ll post a thread.

Thanks to myself, that was the only one that helped me ;)
