Printing Problem (?) in XP
Hi guys,
I have been experiencing a rather irritating printing problem just recently and I would appreciate your help in fixing this. Basically, whenever I print a document, the cursor slows down and "locks up", thus preventing me from doing other activities which is a pain in the ***. The printer is a HP Deskjet 970cxi and I also have Inksaver 2.0 enabled. My OS is Windows XP. The printer has been fine for 3 years or so and this has come as a bit of a surprise?
Some setting may have been accidently changed to give the printer priority or something? Any suggestions on how this could be fixed?
Many thanks for your help.

There are a number of things to consider when experiencing technical problems. Also, you need to include WAY more detail about the specification of your machine to recieve a better diagnosis. So, bearing that in mind, if it was fine before that indicates that a recent change has modified something. Make a list of all the programs you've installed since the problem started occurring. Then remove them.
You might want to re-install the drivers first, or use the driver roll-back function on Windows XP. Completley removing & reinstalling the printer from scratch may be a last resort.
Also, let me know the exact specs of the machine & I'll try & help you some more

Hmm...well it seems like it wasn't the printer and it was the cordless mouse's batteries going dead...ah well!

Try the faithful picture style with the contrast dropped 2 or 3 steps.
If you're interested, I have created a picture style with the brightness mapped from an x-rite color checker.
I trust it enough that if the JPG preview shows white, the data has been clipped.
