hp psc all in one half print
 
My printer is printing out half of the one page. It stops prinhting in the
middle of a page and goes to the next page. It stops printing after only
finishing the top half of a sentence. I got it to work once. I'm also having
an issue with my mouse and keyboard. The mouse will sometimes click a second
time and the keyboard will get stuck on the last key for like 3 seconds. help
me I have a paper due and need the printer. thanks

Corrupted printer drivers. Uninstall and reinstall.

Although written for XP, the procedure is identical for Vista:

it prints the test page just fine And I got it to print a three page paper
one time with no problems. I'll try your steps and see what happens. Windows
update will not let me install an update for an hp driver and the hp website
doesn't offer a driver it says that it is included in the Vista program. So
ya um huh? Here goes nothing...

I think i figure it out. think the problem was from a usb hub that I was
using. I was having issuse with my keyboard and mouse and they seem to be
fixed as well. I plugged my printer directly into my compy and it prints
beautifly.

That is a standard HP troubleshooting step with USB connected printers!

If you absolutely have to have a hub then make sure it is a powered one
and it might work better but direct into the PC is best -- long USB
cables are cheap. I think I paid $1.99 at NewEgg for 10ft cables!
Postage was $4 ..... so I ordered several.
