okay have you recent;ly had some windows 'updates' (read: totally unnecessary software changes that are guarenteed to bugger something up).

In which case do a system restore to a date when the printer worked.

and then install WUB - windows update blocker, and switch the microsoft toxic software off !

If you still have problems after that - get back to me :-)
