Another fault with HP printing...

Symptoms: Print is interrupted at irregular intervals with the message
"The computer has lost communication with the printer". This happens in
the middle of pages, even lines. The on/off button on the printer
flashes.

I suspected my parallel ZIP-drive, but disconnecting it was not a
workable permanent solution. Would you think that buying a separate
parallel port could cure the problem?
Reconfiguring the current parallel port from EPP to something else is
not an option, as the ZIP relies on this mode (for speed reasons).
Additionally, it did not help when I tried ECP or SPP.

This leaves me standing puzzled. Suggestions anyone?
