Yesterday I installed a brand new Deskjet 3520 on an existing Windows XP PC.
The printer now prints fine both test pages and from documents, it also copies OK.
But, whenever it prints a page, Windows throws up a spurious error message that the printer is not connected.
There was a bit of an installation problem. When I came to the PC someone else had tried to install it and the PC thought the printer was connected to LPT1, a non-existent port, which is why it wouldn't print initially. I ran the installation CD again, selecting USB connection and ended up with two 3520s in "Printers and Faxes" one LPT1 and one USB, so I deleted the LPT1 connected device and renamed the USB since it had a (1) appended to the name. Maybe some part of Windows still thinks there are two identical 3520s to which it can send print files, one that works and another that dosen't even have a port.
Any ideas how I can fix this error message / remove the phantom printer if that is what it is?
