Printers in General
If your printer came with a program that notifies you about
the status of the printer (such as when it is out of paper), this
printer status monitor software
might cause problems. The
printer status monitor
software checks the status of your printer
every few seconds. If this happens while you are writing data
to your recordable CD, it will cause data corruption. Turn off
the
printer status monitor
software to prevent this problem.
Check the information that came with your printer to find
out how to do this.
