Printing with XP

[Cos]

What am I doing wrong? I am trying to print a few pages and they just ain't printing. As soon as I click [OK], it goes to a save window... okay...so I save it and then some weird browser pops up and I am sitting there like.... Now what?

control alt delete

Dana goto control panel and klik on printers and faxes and see if your printers icon is check marked. IF it is then right klik on that icon and goto properties-advanced tab and see if the "always available" is "green dotted". Sounds as if your printer is not configured properly.

Dana, try removing the printer and reinstalling it. It sounds like some kind of driver issue. Check the vendor's site to see if there are newer drivers. If that doesn't work, try to take a screen shot of what happens and I can try to help better. When the funny browser pops up hit alt and prnt scrn together then paste in a word doc or something and you can email to me if need be.

Dana,
If it is a usb printer and you are not using the same hub point, could just be that the computer just doesn't know where the printer is connected.

for example, you used usb 1 to install the printer driver and the software told the computer to use usb1 and for some reason you disconnected it, now you connected to usb 3, the computer just doesn't the printer is on usb3.

As was told earlier, control panel, printers and check to see where it is located.
