[RESOLVED] new motherboard problems

[leecarter]

First post-

Just upgraded to new ASUS CUSL2-C, 866 PIII, 256mem. Have 40g Hard drive. Old Matrox G100 locked up system, so installed ATI All in Wonder. That all works great.

Problem: Cannot get HP 895 to work on USB driver. Spent a non-profitable 45 min with HP tech support. Have uninstalled. Have used USB uninstaller from HP. Reinstalled. Checked for new ASUS drivers. Checked for new Windows drivers. Checked for new HP drivers. Printer will start to print, then stops about 1/4 way thru page, then get error message about a problem. (I have an Epson camera that works fine on the USB, and a epson printer that does too.)

Also still have EZ bios from previous bios inadequecies on old mb. When I boot, says the ezbios is unloaded as no drives are using, so can I just take it off and fdisk/mbr?

I have not tried reinstalling windows 98se yet. Maybe that is in order?

Sorry to go on and on Thanks

If you've got all the latest drivers and still doesn't work, os reinstall would be my next step.

go into your BIOS and make sure you have
"Assign IRQ for USB" set to enabled

does the printer has enough memory to print what your want to print?, if so try the printer in a different computer maybe the printer is bad.

Any time you upgrade your mother board you should fdisk partition and format, especaily if your old board required disk overlay software, I would say Windows s messed up some where due to the mother board swap :D

Thanks. Had to reformat to get the disk overlay (ez-bios) off. After reinstalling 98SE, everything works fine. From power on to everything ready at the start screen is 25 seconds. Much improved. Some way or other lost my saved files on a second hard drive... Sending it to a data recovery service...

Speakin as an HP Support Tech for DeskJet printers, allow me to apologize on behalf of whatever mentally impaired tech wasted 45 min of your time. HP DeskJets and USB installs are tougher than they oughta be but are almost always doable. Also, these printers are resource intensive so be sure your'e dealin with at least 80% free resources if you plan to undertake a print job of any size or consequence.
Peace

Glad to hear you got it fixed. I too have just recently put together a system with the cusl-2-c. Im not sure this is a good thing or not but there is a message board just for our mother board at cusl-2-c (http://www.cusl2c.com)
