First of all, check the free space on your hard drive, if it is showing as almost full, this will be slowing down your computer. Use the maintenance command under properties to delete and clean up all dead data (cookies etc)

After that, delete the rubbishware that you do not use. I suggest you download this application to do this with
http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

Now see if this improves the problems, if not and you are showing a decent amount of hard drive space, I suggest you run a command line virus scan and check for viruses and malware

I suggest this:
http://www.freedrweb.com/cureit/?lng=en
Run this in safe mode, allow 1 hours for it to scan and then do a deeper scan by setting the scan to C:/

After the scan has been completed, reboot and back in my computer, go to the C drive, properties and "check volume for errors"

if its possible install the printer on another PC. if it prints god without problem than problem on your PC, follow this:
1. delete the device from "start-> control panel-> devices and printers (win7) or printers and fax (win xp) choice hp laserjet 1320 right click -> remove device. and delete driver software from control panel - > software " Than reinstall the software and turn on printer
2. try the new and the latest versions of drivers. you can search it in Internet pay attention to date of software
3. replace USB cable of printer sometimes it acts to work of printer, use original cable but no so long cable (1-1,5 metr)
4. if problem unsolved than the work to engineers,
recently we solved same problem on hp 2015, you must open covers of printer and access main board - formatter (where USB port exists), remove all wires and reinstall properly, if problem unsolved the formatter (look at the images) must be heated with special heating device. But its work of masters, don't try heat it if you are not specialist.

Acer aspire running slowly how can i solve this problem

Some computers can be slow or short of hard drive space for quite simple reasons.
Windows and other program hide temporary files in lots of different places
The best option is not always a program or utility and if you want to do as much as you can for FREE like I do then you have a few options.
 
1. First you need to be in windows explorer.
 
2. Click TOOLS and FOLDER OPTIONS
 
3. Now click the VIEW tab
 
4. Tick the Show Hidden Files And Folders option
Unpick Hide Protected Operating System Files (it may warn you but you can ignore it)
 
5. Click APPLY then OK
 
6. NOTE some files may not delete this is OK Also DO NOT DELETE the folder itself where mentioned for cleaning.
 
7. Using windows explorer go into the WINDOWS folder and look for a directory called TEMP (it is possible there may be more than one)
 
8. Select all the contents and delete them. Do the same for any other temp folder e.g. temp000
 
9. Now navigate to Documents and Settings
There are quite a few folders in here that can be cleaned up
 
10. Look for folders named "Local Settings" In there you will find more TEMP folders that can be cleaned out
 
11. Now look inside the Temporary Internet Files. Delete anything EXCEPT cookies. Otherwise passwords for some sites you have stored may need you to type the password again.
 
12. Do this for each user / profile you see.
 
13. Now check the C: drive itself and see if there are any Temp folders and clean those out too
 
To prevent accidental deletion of any files windows needs you should go back to step (4) and change the two settings back to their original
