DeskJet 640C does not print
 

My DeskJet 640C is driving me crazy. Every time I want to print, it seems to
star printing and then the out of paper light begins to flash. When I turn it
off, it expels a sheet of paper, and that's all. I have installed and
reinstalled several times and I've ran the Assistant and I've not got mi
problem solved. Please forgive my English; of course is not my mother tongue:

Your english is way better than some whose native language is English.. you
have nothing to apologise about..

Re. the printer.. it is getting old.. older printers, like humans, do not
operate so well as the parts start to wear.. check the printer manual
troubleshooting section.. you will find that it is more likely to be a
hardware issue than one related to Windows..

If you are using the parallel port-- Try changing the parallel port mode in
BIOS and then windows to SPP. Chances are that the current mode is ECP, the
win XP default. Some of the older printers do not like ECP.
