Why, oh why, is my printer not working

[kdibattista]

I keep getting "Out of Paper" but there is plenty of paper. I tried readjusting the paper, making sure nothing was stuck, powering off and back on and nothing. It's only a few months old

Is there a printer fairy in the house

 

[lindakmonty]

I'm definitely no expert but mine has an "ok" button to push to clear any errors.

Maybe you have too MUCH paper in there.

Unplug it for at least a minute. It clears the buffer.

If all else fails - uninstall and reinstall.

 

[lindakmonty]

Any luck???

 

[kdibattista]

Nope... I guess I have to try and find my CD to reinstall

 

[sweet angel]

try rebooting the computer first, if you haven't already done that.

Thank you oh great printer fairy

See, now I always ASSUME someone has rebooted before looking for help.

4 years doing helpdesk, you'd think I'd know better, huh?

Glad youre working - even though I cant take any credit for it....

I've been called a lot of things in my life, but 'great printer fairy' was never one of them!

Glad I could help.
