So here it goes:
my printer is an HP LaserJet 5L basically, it seems the communication between my computer and printer is inexistant
like my computer cant send tasks to the printer, as if it was plugged in. I can print the default HP page by clicking on the printer button so the printer actually works, its just the communication thats fucked up
so i tried deleting the driver in control panel/printers etc etc but it gives me an error saying:
the printer driver is currently in use
what should i do ??
thx

I'd offer advice but I'm sure someone else with more experience will offer better advice soon. I'll just add that you seem to have a lot of random computer problems recently. Do you have a virus scanner and firewall / router?

Next time, reboot before you go and delete drivers... Reboot, reinstall the printer driver. Double check the cables. Try a different cable if you have one. Is the printer hooked up to the computer via usb or parallel? Have you tried printing from different programs?
