>I had a HP printer - 720c I think. Went round and round with tech support at MS and HP. I had the same problem, in fact if you turn on the resource meter found windows system tools, you could watch it go down and never release. This was in VFP5.0a with SP3 and all updates to Windows 95. Worked with HP on this problem - they finally figured it was their driver and bought the printer back from our company. It also caused the same problem with the latest OEM version of 95 on a Dell computer and a HP 800 series printer. HP said it was a memory leak but there was not enough demand for VFP to cause them to correct it. I posted this on the thread earlier this year.

HP just doesn't seem to want to update their drivers, period. I have a friend who worked in retail at an OfficeMax, and now is a network administrator and responsible for hardware recommendations and purchases, and he told me that they simply refuse to change their drivers. They insist that the problems aren't experienced by enough users, etc, etc. I see a pattern here...
My problem is with an HP820 color deskjet. There is a checkbox in the setup that is called ICM (I think). I have no idea what it means, or what it does, but I do know that every now and then I have to look at it, because it unchecks itself! And when it is unchecked, resources dwindle quickly, no matter what program is printing.

I don't understand why they don't want to fix a problem when they acknowledge that it is a problem on their end.
