It sounds like your computer may be trying to boot from the printer. To stop this, you need to get into your system bios. When you start your computer there should be a brief period of time that your computer displays keys that do different things. You are looking for the one that allows you into your system bios (this is typically f2, f10, f12, del, or esc). You can also look online for the key to tap by searching on google for "bios keys". This will allow you to look up the correct key based on your computer brand. Once your are in the bios you need to find the boot devices menu by using the arrow keys and the enter key. Make sure that your boot device order has your hard drive first on the list. I you think that you will ever want to boot from a cd then move the cd drive to the first place and the hrad drive to the second place on the list. let me know if this helps.

Hi Tyler. I went into the system bios as you suggested. I found that the boot sequence is as follows:
1. IDE CD-ROM Device
2. Hard-Disk Drive C
3. Diskette Drive
This appears to be correct so I don't think this is the cause of the issue.
Thanks very much for your reply though! If you have any other ideas please let me know.
Thanks,
Ken J.
