After starting my desktop with Win98 with MS Word, the 1st document I try to print, the HP 5L will print only 1 line with odd characters plus mnopqrstuvwxyz and ejects the sheet. In approx 5 seconds, the document prints correctly. The printer will continue to print OK until the computer is rebooted and the same problem occurs again. I have tried removing and reinstalling printer with updated drivers, old drivers and nothing cures the problem. The printer works OK when attached to my laptop. Thanking you in advance.

Get the drivers from the hp website, but don't get the auto executable file. Get the three files that are split into disk 1, 2, and 3. Make sure you uninstall the old 5l drivers first. Use the program to install it again. I think the full exe file has a bug. if this doesn't work, email me and I'll tell you what to do.
