I tried thiis solution and it didn't work for me.  My Deskjet 520
still doesn't print.  I don't understand the problem.  I was using it
with another PC with W95 installed.  When I try to print, a dialog box
labeled 'Print Folders' pops up with the message:
There was an error writing to LPT1 for the Printer: HP DeskJet 520
Printer
The printer is not ready - make sure it is turned on and online.
Well it is turned on and online
When I hit cancel, the lights on the printer blink and it acts like
it's gonna print something...but nothing.  Can anybody help?
