This problem just started. I have a new computer with two printer ports. One is hooked to a line printer and the other to a HP Laserjet 5p. When I print to the laserjet it reboots the computer. Not every time I try to print. About 40% of the time. It has recently started doing it when I print to the line printer as well. These printers have been on this computer for months with out any trouble. Any ideas on what I should do to fix the problem.

What OS and service pack is installed on your computer ? Try also downloading the latest (probably not very new...) driver for the LJ 5P here If you run Win XP make sure at least service pack 1 is installed.
