"error while printing" sometimes

Asked by Mary Johnson

Sometimes the print command works while at other times the "error while printing" box appears. Re-booting does not help.

HP Photosmart 8030.
This refusal to print does not happen a lot, fortunately. The last W/P
page which would not print came through well after being pasted into an
email format.

I am getting out of my depth here folks!
I find that I can copy and paste a word processor page into my email and I'll cope that way.
Thanks

 I was depressed last night so I called LifeLine.
Got through to a call centre in Pakistan.
I told them I was suicidal.

They got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.

__________________________________________________

I urgently needed a few days off work, But, I knew the Boss would not
allow me to take leave.

I thought that maybe if I acted 'Crazy' Then he would tell me to take a
few days off. So, I hung upside-down on the ceiling and made funny
noises.

My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I was doing. I told her that
I was pretending to be a light bulb, So, that the Boss might think I was
'Crazy' and give me a few days off.

A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked, 'What in
the name of good GOD are you doing?' I told him I was a light bulb.

He said, 'You are clearly stressed out.' Go home and recuperate for a
couple of days.'

I jumped down and walked out of the office... When my co-worker (the
blonde) followed me, the Boss asked her, '..And where do you think
you're going?!'

She said, 'I'm going home too. I can't work in the dark.
