I have a HP Deskjet 670C which used to do that when booting into Win98 when that was the only OS installed (for 12 months or more). Then June last year I installed ML8.0 and it stopped doing it when booting into win but was doing it when booting linux. Then in October I re-installed Win98 and installed ML8.1 and it doesn't do it at all! Go figure. BTW, it first started in Win98 when the printer had to be plugged into the parallel zip drive (and has been ever since). Is your printer plugged into another device? skinky -- oxymoron: Microsoft Works
