actually before doing all of what you suggested, when I restarted my
computer and went into admin, my printer box had two HP laser jets in there,
one labelled HP1020 that did not work and the other labelled HP10202 that
printed the test page and now seems to work. Figure that.
Now how do I delete all those unprinted docs on the HP1020?
thanks for you help
