I recently installed a HP940C. I am running Win 98

when I send something to print, my mouse refuses to work and I can't do anything until printing is finished?????
 
Try and check the devices settings under "My computer" and see if there is a conflict between the devices. The mouse and the printer might try to share the same adresses and interrupts (IO and IRQ adresses)in memory causing the system to hang while printing.
