"Seems like you're addressing my question/post from 4/19/08, titled "Test
Page Failed to Print". I truly believe my problem is a result of an
accumulation of HP Drivers over the years. I started with an HP Photosmart
C1350. That worked well, then I installed an HP Photosmart All-In-One C6180.
That's when all 4ell broke loose. I think my problem could have been solved
early on, but HP didn't pay attention to my note that I wanted my original
drivers removed. I now have like 5 drivers (some from my XP setup disks from
MSFT) installed on my system. HP won't tell me how to go back to my non HP
days. They abandoned me telling me this was an MS issue.
Can you advise me how to clean up my HP mess without having me to go to HP?
Thanks,
LAN
