I could do that, but since it's having problems printing faxes, it seems PC independent? &nbsp;it gets a fax and then it prints it out, hanging on page 2 (at least after it's been idle for a couple / few hours.)

Client moved an HP COlor LaserJet 2840 from 1 home office to another. &nbsp;At the new office they also replaced the PC it was connected to via USB with another XP Pro machine.<br />

now, it seems the printer won't print until after a reboot. &nbsp;also, this has fax capabilities and faxes aren't printing either (so I don't think it's the new PC as the issue). <br />

right now, it's sitting at 'printing fax page 2' for 30 minutes. &nbsp;Printed page 1 OK. &nbsp;<br />

I bet a reboot will get it to print a page or 2. &nbsp;then printing just stops. &nbsp;Machine was bought december 2006 so it's out of warrantee. &nbsp;cost $700 at time of purchase. &nbsp;a loose circuit board?<br />

who do you call for service? &nbsp;

HP Laserjet 2840 doesn't print until you reboot then it's OK for a while.  This is after an office move

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.

Peripherals

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.

Printers and Scanners

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
