High CPU Utilization When You Print to a Hewlett-Packard Multifunction
Printer (Q299956)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:
  a.. Microsoft Windows versions 2000 , 2000 SP1 , 2000 SP2 , Professional

SYMPTOMS
When you are printing to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) multifunction printer (such
as the HP OfficeJet series) that is attached to a parallel port, CPU
utilization may rise to 50-100 percent and remain high. For computers with a
single CPU, utilization may reach 100 percent.
NOTE : This problem does not relate to the HP single function line of
printers.
RESOLUTION
A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to
correct the problem described in this article and should be applied only to
systems experiencing this specific problem. This fix may receive additional
testing at a later time, to further ensure product quality. Therefore, if
you are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you
wait for the next Windows 2000 service pack that contains this fix.
To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support
Services to obtain the fix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support
Services phone numbers and information about support costs, please go to the

NOTE : In special cases, charges that are normally incurred for support
calls may be canceled, if a Microsoft Support Professional determines that a
specific update will resolve your problem. Normal support costs will apply
to additional support questions and issues that do not qualify for the
specific update in question.
The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, change the port mode in the BIOS to ECP.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that
are listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
To further identify this problem, check the port mode settings in the BIOS.
If the port mode setting for "ECP" is not selected (AT mode may be in use),
this problem can occur. Port modes that support ECP may be listed as ECP,
PS/2, EPP, or ECP/EPP. The preferred workaround to this problem is to change
the port mode in the BIOS to ECP.
NOTE : Besides resolving this problem, changing to ECP mode may result in
improved scanning and storage media access gains of up to 2-4 times or more.
If ECP (or some ECP combination) is selected and the high utilization
occurs, this may indicate that ECP communications negotiation did not work.
In this case, the computer and printer may attempt communication by using
conflicting communications methods. The hotfix that is listed in the
"Resolution" section of this article may be used to resolve the problem.
Additional Troubleshooting Steps
  a.. If you have not already done so, try to change the port mode in the
BIOS to ECP.
  b.. Check the tasklist (or use the Qslice.exe tool) to identify the
process that is causing the high CPU utilization.
  c.. If the high CPU utilization is against the system process, the problem
that is described in this article may be occurring. If some other process
shows high CPU utilization, that process should be investigated and stopped
by using the tasklist (or the Kill.exe tool) to return the computer to
normal CPU utilization levels.
