If you can replace it, go on!
If it is within guarantee period, call the supplier/ manufacturer!
If it is expensive, think and work on it, but do not invest money and time to correct it!

try re-installing the printer drivers on the PC, should clear it up.

If you are using XP, you can delete the printer in Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Printers and Faxes

Then click Add New Printer and follow the on-screen steps.

Check the cable, replace the cable, reinstall the driver, reboot the computer, etc. . . .

check that no-one has been into the control panel and changed the settings.
I have a very clever 9 year old who can not read but can work out how to disable my pc in ten mins. Good Luck.

Have you checked that there are no documents pending etc.I usually find that if you look around at your print properties and things like that you will find something that's not how it should be and you can sort it out.Just check everything.

Hi,

Try uninstalling the software in Control/add and remove programmes. Diconnect your printer from wall then put on again and reinstall software then do a test paper.

Could be a virus, however my pal had a similar problem with his printer and it worked.

Good Luck

look in the printer spool*, and make sure you delete all documents pending… you can remove the drivers and re-install/ in add/remove programs….also system restore may help…
*start,controlpanel,printers and faxes ,view installed printers,rightclick printer icon check properties,and delete pending if any there… good luck
