i have the above printer in a small office setup where there are 4 computers. 3 of them are windows 7 and the printer works fine with them, but 1 is on XP which is the one the printer is installed and connected to (and shared out across the network). the xp machine struggles to print from it and i cant even go on printer properties as it crashes each time.
i have uninstalled the driver and re-installed the latest version and the problem is still there. when installing it mentions something about not being verified to be compatible with xp, but the printer worked fine with the XP machne until last week, after having it for months. is there anything im missing or could do to rectify this?
