We have a Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 1120C that's being used for some
pretty big files such as floor plans and 11x17 posters. But because
this printer has no message centre nor gives back to Windows any kind
of error message I have no idea what's happening.

When printing jobs onto 11x17 or 13x19 pages it will get to the last
1/4" of the printable area and lay down just a few lines of ink, but
never finish. The printer stops and the paper feed button begins to
blink. This means it's died at the end of the job, not finishing the
printing.

Windows says there's been a printing error, but gives no further
information like an error number or anything. And, like I said
before, there's no window on the printer that displays any messages or
error messages.

My guess is that there's a buffer overrun or memory shortage. Trouble
is that it also happens on small files printing on the large format
papers. When viewing the file (a colour separated page) it can be as
small as 43k or as large as 1MB or larger and still it bombs in the
same place ... with 1/4" or so left to print.

HP.com is no help as they offer no tech support for this printer. And
there's nothing on the Microsoft site that leads me to believe it's an
O/S or program error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this printer is the company's
workhorse for large format printings ... including my colour seps!
Thanks in advance!

Yes, and yes. There was no "latest" driver listed when I checked it
yesterday at work, but I know I got the latest one about 3 months back. As
for the troubleshooting, it was no help. Checked both the book we still
have and the downloadable PDF manual.
