The printer is on but will not print
■ Check the cable between the printer and
your computer. Make sure that it is
connected to the correct port.
■ Make sure that the printer is online. Many
printers have an online/offline button that
you may need to press so the printer can
start printing. Press the button to put the
printer online.
■ Check the cable for bent or broken pins.
■ If the printer you want to print to is not the
default printer, make sure that you have
selected it in the printer setup.
To set a default printer:
1 Click Start, then click Control
Panel. The Control Panel window
opens. If your Control Panel is in
Category View, click Printers and
Other Hardware.
2 Click/Double-click the Printers and
Faxes icon. The Printers and Faxes
window opens.
3 Right-click the name of the printer
you want to be the default printer,
then click Set as Default Printer.
■ Reinstall the printer driver. See the guide
that came with your printer for instructions
on installing the printer driver.
