I have started having some troubles recently with my Z3100 be unresponsive with HP's Color Center. When I go to print the printer driver says that I need to calibrate the printer. When I click on the message to bring up Color Center to calibrate the paper it tells me the printer is off or unavailable. I have tried going through the printer utility that is installed and runs in the system tray and accessing Color Center through there but I have the same problem.
The weird thing is, when I open the printer utility it sees the printer, the paper loaded and the ink levels. So the utility sees the printer but color center does not.
Does anyone know of any reason why this would be happening? I havent installed anything recently and I have the Windows automatic updates turned off because I ran into a printer driver issue earlier. It seems that HP has a real problem with their software in Windows but I dont know how to fix it.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
andy
