    Was using a HP multi-media center, was working fine then started printing in correctly. It'd print half page, stop, then spits un-finnished page out. Ran diagnostic, even called HP tech support (blooming hopeless).
    Went out brought Epson TX600FW, does everything like a dream except printing docs sent from the pc. Does exactly same thing, prints half, stops, spits paper out.

    So I've backed all my files up and totally re-installed the entire windows vista home premium program but still no luck.

    I've made sure that all the OLD HP programs have been un-installed and that the Espon is installed correctly.

    Does anyone know what else I can try? We use our comp and printer for business and cant be without it while it gets repaired (it is still under warranty).

    It's not likely that you have two bad printers.

    If you go into the printer properties and print the test page, does it print O.K.?

    If it doesn't print, I would suspect it's a spool setting.
    You can try 'Print directly to the printer' (no spooling) to see if it has any effect.
    These are the settings of my HP, USB printer.
    It's not a network printer - although it is shared.
