Why does HP laptop print extra page to HP Deskjet 855c?
HP says that there isn't a print driver which will allow our new laptop to print to our old 855C printer. I found a driver designed for the HP845C printer which will let our HP 4540s laptop with 64 BIT Windows 7 print to our old reliable HP855C Deskjet printer. I had to find a cable adapter to convert between the parallel printer plug and theUSB port on the laptop. If I plug into the right rear USB port it activates the printer which is a 32 bit device. The printer then prints a page with one line.
"@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE=PCL"
Then the page I sent to print, prints normally. If you send a 2 page document, it spits out another one line page then prints the next page normally and so on.
Does someone understand whats possibly going on and how perhaps to tell the printer to disregard the one line page?
Is this a good question?
