Hi all,<br />
<br />
Running XP and have an 812C that worked fine a few days ago. &nbsp;Now documents go into the print queue, but the printer never responds. &nbsp;There are no error messages, it just never processes the document. &nbsp;This happens regardless of program. &nbsp;Cables are connected and LPT1 reports it is working fine.<br />
<br />
The only change to the system in the past week is that I got an email from my ISP saying that my computer had been used to send spam and I likely had a virus. &nbsp;I ran McAfee's Stinger program, which to my surprise found the W32/Bagle.ai@MM virus. &nbsp;Stinger deleted the files in question. &nbsp;Since then I have been unable to print.<br />
<br />
Help! &nbsp;Any thoughts on what is going on here and how I can fix it. &nbsp;Is the printer issue even related to the virus issue?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />
D<br />

812C stops responding

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
