HP 3051A Bluescreening my ASUS U47A

Question

Hi,
I am experiencing a lot of bluescreens recently with my HP 3051A printer and my ASUS U47A laptop running Windows 7 x64.
I try printing a document, usually a large word doc or pdf, it starts printing and prints like 2 pages and halfway through the third page, it bluescreens.

Hi,
The issue more likely happen due to incompatibility with the USB 3.0 port you are using.
Unplug the USB and plug it into the USB 2.0 port, those more likely can be identified by their color - a USB 3.0 port usually will be blue colored.. on your PC model the USB 2.0 port should be the single port on its right side, right next to the HDMI port..
After switching the USB port try printing and let me know of any change, I believe it should resolve the problem.
