OK - here's an off-the-wall possible solution - as suggested by my
printer repair people.
Power from the electric company isn't always a perfect sine wave and
sometimes has imperceptible (to us) voltage spikes. Sometimes these are
picked up by the e-prom on the printer's motherboard, alters the
e-prom's programming and causes the printer to do strange things. In
the case of my R2000, it decided to run a head cleaning cycle before
printing every print.
The repair shop's solution - they had seen this problem before,
particularly with HP printers - is this:
Unplug the power cord from the wall so there's no power going to the
printer - just turning the printer off won't work. Leave it sit for 6-8
hours, then plug it back in and see if the problem is gone. Leaving it
sit with no power going to it will allow the spurious voltages to
dissipate and return the e-prom to a normal state.
I know this sounds goofy, but it worked for me. :-):-)

Trying to say this simply (difficult for me)
I open the file I'm going to print in Elements 10 - hit cntl p or
print from the file drop down and the window with the settings comes up..
I set those and then hit print within that window. the printer
monitor window comes up showing me the page is printing, but it isn't
- instead, it
ejects the paper - still shows me it is printing. sometimes it DOES
print right away - butmore often than not it just sits there saying it
is printing and
it isn't. sometimes I've beenable to coax it by stopping the printing,
emptying the queue and then starting the process over.
This doesn't happenwhen I print using the R220 - , which occasionally
just annoys me by saying the paper isn't loaded correctly. Also,
when I shut down the computer and restart in the morning the print
details in the print window go back to plain paper and R220 etc.. it
doesn't
hold the last setting I've used.. yes, the R220 I guess is set as my
default printer and the r2400 as the secondary..
anyone?
thanks,
ann
