Hi,

I have window 2000 professional.

When I starts my computer, every time it send all pages that I printed earlier.

It prints all the pages that I printed a long time ago.

And wasted my stationery/papers around 80-100 prints.

So I have to turned off my printer than turn on computer and then delete all pages from printer and then start my printer.

Why this is to happened like this.

Please tell me what to do. Is there any setting that I miss or anything else.
Printer is a network printer HP 2200 dn and other colleague doesn't have this problem.
So there is problem with my computer only but not with printer.

Thanks in advanced.

Instead of just turning the printer off, try disconnecting it from the
Computer entirely, as well as disconnecting it from the electrical outlet
For 10 minutes or more to see if that helps. I used to have to do that
With the printer I had before this one to keep it from acting crazy like that.

Go to control panel. Printers and faxes I believe its called. Go the printer and pull up the print task toolbox and cancel all the prints... your printer is just extremely backed up

Couchcarrot and aaj2008,

It doesn't work at all.

Thanks for reply, any other suggestion?

Its still printing even though the print processes are cleared? Are you living in a haunted house by any chance? Honestly I really don't have any other idea. Sorry

So at this point, printer works as it should?

If so, what happens when you restart PC with printer on.

Just not rally clear of exactly what is going on, have an idea but not exactly everything

Kind of loose track of what is going on between:

Kill everything in the print queue.

Bet somehow the number of copies got set really high.

Windows doesn't like to take no for an answer.

Kind of loose track of what is going on between:

When I start my computer, it send all the prints that I printed earlier a day or a month or so old. It prints 100-150 printout that I printed yesterday and earlier.

Hence, my stationery and cartridge has wasted.

So, I have to first turn off my printer than I turn on my computer.
Therefore it doesn't start print automatically.

Then I have to delete all the prints in print queue.
After deletion of queue is finished than I turn on my printer.

And this hectic process I have to do every time when I start my computer.

This is the problem with machine. There is no problem with printer as it is a network printer. Nobody having that problem.This is only with my computer.

Try starting the PC without printer attached and go to control panel and remove/uninstall printer

Now attach printer to PC and then go to add printer and let it reinstall

This would be first thing I would try to do

First, you should check the settings of your printer from control panel. For printer settings go to control panel > printers and faxes icons > open > In printers and faxes find the icon for your printer then > right click > open properties tab > look for spooling control in the advanced tab > option displays like do you want the machine or printer to spool all your reports so, that your don't have to keep pushing that button. If you unchecked this then it will not start the auto printing.
