SYMPTOMS
If you use a Canon BJC-610 printer and install the updated printer driver for Cannon Bubble Jet series printers (Nt4bjc2.exe), you may experience one or more of the following symptoms:


 * You may be unable to print.
 * You are unable to print a test page or document after you restart the computer.
 * You are unable to print if you restart the computer and then attempt to print a test page from any program.
 * The printer may appear to be printing, but the print job does not print.
 * The printed output may be garbled.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use one or more of the following methods:


 * If the printer is connected to an enhanced capabilities port (ECP) or enhanced parallel port (EPP), enable bi-directional support for the port in the computer's CMOS.

NOTE: Refer to the computer's documentation or manufacturer before you change the CMOS settings.


 * Do not turn the printer on until Windows NT is started. If the error light on the printer turns on, put the printer back on-line and then click Retry when you are prompted.
 * Remove the printer driver and then reinstall the original driver.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
The printer driver installs normally and the printer appears to function properly until you restart the computer, and then print a test page or document.
