Cause Solution
Close all software programs, restart Windows, and try again.
Select a different device driver. If the HP LaserJet P3005
PCL 6 driver is selected, switch to a PCL 5e or PS driver. You
can usually do this from a software program.
Delete all temp files from the Temp subdirectory. You can
determine the name of the directory by editing the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file and looking for the statement "Set Temp
=". The name after this statement is the temp directory. It is
usually C:\TEMP by default, but can be redefined.
