What ideas?  Should I try the driver with Win3.1?

It may or may not solve your problem(s) but get the new Microsoft drivers
for the HP DeskJet 500 (v2.1).  Before I installed the drivers that came
with my DeskJet when I bought it, I tried the one that came with Windows
and got random blotches all over a printed page.  The new one works quite
well.

BTW.  I've uploaded that driver to wustl a few days ago.
