Are
you using the correct printer driver software for the
printer? Ensure that the current default printer is
correct and matches the target printer. |
|
Check
the printer using the Windows control panel. Does the
printer show any print jobs queued? |
|
Do
you have enough disk space on your computer? 2MB minimum
is required for spooling print jobs. |
|
Check
the Spool Settings in the printer driver properties/details
section. If Spool Data Format is set to EMF, try changing
the setting to RAW. If it is set to RAW, try turning
spooling off by clicking Print Directly To The Printer. |
|
Check
all of the printer driver settings in the properties
dialog. Are they correct for this printer? |
|
What
does the computer show as the "status" of the printer
(paused, not ready, error, ready)? |
|
Shut
down the computer, turn off the printer. Wait 20
seconds. Turn on the printer, then turn on the
computer. Immediately when the "Starting
Windows.." appears, press F8. At the menu, select
"Safe Mode Command Prompt Only". At the DOS
prompt (C:\), type the commands shown below. At the
conclusion, reset the printer. (Record any error message
which occurs) |
