Hi whalpert-ga,
I am interested in answering your question, but I believe that, to answer
it well, your question will require more time and effort than the average
amount of time and effort associated with this price. Here is a link to
guidelines about pricing your question,
https://answers.google.com/answers/pricing.html
If you both raise your price and also post a clarification here, the
system will notify me and I will take another look at your question.

The printer's memory was upgraded from 12 MB to the maximum of 42MB
during the last service. Once the printer receives the data after a
lengthy wai it still prints at 12 pages per minute at 600 X600 dpi. I
found the above message when checking the system information. The
green light blinks during the wait period. this happens even if the
printer had already printed another page and does not need a warming
up period. I really do not know what you wish to know without
receiving a specific question. I also do not know where to increase
the ayment to 20.00$? the setting for memory on the printer shows 10MB
or more. It was working well with the original 12 MB with reasonable
longer wair for complicated gray scale graphics. I was hoping that the
added memory would increase the data aquisition speed. The computer is
a PIII 600BE with 512 MB 133, running Office 2000 Pro on Win 2000 Pro.

Thanks for your clarification - it will certainly help any researcher
who takes this question on.
One further question: did the problem begin immediately after the
latest service?

I noticed this some days later when trying to print from my new
scanner Microtek
Scanmaker 6700. this was for black and white text scanned as an
illustration. All scan to print take a long time. Unlike before with
my Agfa Snapscan 1212 which was connected via USB 1 this scanner has a
firewire supposedly 10 times faster. It also has USB2 that I am not
using. I had installed both options.
From word it takes about 25 to 30 seconds and before it was about half
that from a ready printer.
With graphics and scans it takes 5 to 10 minutes sometimes longer.
It may be a totally unrelated error message in the system file but it
seems inconcievable that more printer memory and a faster connection
would slow it down.
If there is any information to be researched I will do it to save your
valuable time. All I need is a way to solve this problem.
Thank you for your efforts hopefully you have the answer.
regards,
Willy

At the risk of giving away the farm...
Error 22 22 Error/ I/O Config Error/ Par I/O Error/MIO ErrorI/O
configuration for the computer or printer is incorrect. Configure is
properly.Check I/O Cable, it could be the wrong cable or damaged.Is
the computer on?!How about the I/O port - damaged, seated properly,
pins not bent?4+/5P/5 The computer and printer aren't talking because
of improper signal protocols. Could be a bad cable or loose connection
or just a poor quality cable. Reseat the cable and use only high
quality IEEE 1284 compliant cables.5Si Are you using a non-HP MIO
device?
Can you double check the cable? and/or replace the Parallel Cable and
see if it works better/faster?

One possibility is that the printer is having a hard time receiving
data at the speed your computer is sending it. Try changing your
parallel port setting from ECP to EPP or SPP. Go in to your BIOS (by
pressing delete as you boot the machine) and change the port setting.
This should update in Windows, but check your device manager to make
sure. As far as I understand it there are occasionally problems with
older HP printers working properly with ECP.
Let me know if that does anything to improve the situation.

Hi.
Thank you for your advise it seems to be correct. I will go out and
buy the best available cable from belkin with platinum pated
connectors but it will take ne until later this afternoon EST. I will
then check the pins and let you know if it that has solved the
prob;lem If not I will go to the bios etc.
Please await my answer that hopefully will resolve this problem. There
are no messages on the printer thus it seems a reasonable solution.
Thankyou,
Willy

Can you advise if your swanky new printer cable solved your problem?
