That PC is barely able to run USB. You are on the very edge of the requirements. I really recommend a PC upgrade.

: Hello !
: I expect some problems with my recently bought HP845C printer:
: Depending upon the size of the file I want to print (simple letter or color picture), I receive the message "No response from printer - The computer tryes to send data to the printer but doesn't get answer".
: (I also noticed that my problem is sensitive to the "history": when printing a file, it's ok the 1rst time but beacames nok if I try printing it twice...).
: I downloaded from HP website and installed the last available driver : the problem remains.
: I downloaded from you website and executed "Intel USB System Check" : all seems OK ("this system has FULL support for USB").
: My (old, but already sufficient for my needs) PC is as follows:
: - mother board = Matsonic MS5120
: - BIOS = Award Modular Bios V4.51PG (realease 08/14/1997 S)
: - processor = 166 MMX
: - USB = 08/14/1997-VXPro+-USB-Ultr-2A5LDH09C-00
: - PCI->USB universal controler = VIA VT83C572/VT82C586 (version 002)
: - OS = Win98 (rev 4.10.1998)
: Should somebody help me ???
: Many thank's in advance,
: Pierre
