Andrew,
Most of these problems are caused by bad drivers being put out by HP. Make sure you have the latest driver if that doesn't fix it, back the drivers down in printer versions until you get one that works. I've found the LJIII to work very well. Your 1100 drivers might be your best choice.
>This is my first message on here. Our Visual Foxpro application is hanging when certain printer drivers are installed. Our application works fine when the HP Laserjet 1100 driver is installed and yet it hangs all the time when the HP Laserjet 1200 driver is installed. The application hangs in random parts of the program even going in and out of screens. What causes this?
