Printer Problem! - normandbarb - 23-Jan-2005
Can anyone help please?
My printer HP 720C has not worked properly since I installed Windows XP. The problem is that all printing is slightly squashed or compressed. eg when trying to print Avery labels, although I use the correct avery number the text does not fit.
I would love somebody to solve the problem for me
Thankyou,Barbara

I never got the hang of those label templates. Have you tried manually setting your label size? I find it works much better when you adjust the sizes yourself.

I have tried that Martin, but I don't think I should have to do you? Things always worked OK when we were on Windows 98 How about you?

I may be wrong here - but can`t you go back to Windows 98 format even though you have XP installed??

I preferred windows 98. Barbara I've heard of similar problems with print on the 720 when going up to XP. Have you tried searching for a HP forum? you're more likely to get help there.

I have Win 98SE on one computer and WinXP with SP2 on the other. We recently switched ISPs to Verizon DSL. 80 percent of their software is incompatible with XP/SP2! The 98SE computer is much more stable and doesn't get attacked by viruses and worms. Unfortunately, with a 450MHz processor, it's not fast enough for most of the high-performance browsers.
I'm so ticked off that I signed up for a year's worth of service from these encephalophallics, I'm looking into ways to abrogate the contract and go with someone else.

Barbara, It may well be that XP does not support your model of printer. I had to replace my Epson when I updated because it wasn`t supported by XP. You can chech all your add-ons with XP to see what will and what will not work.
