Printer

[potty64]

HELP! I've typed an essay on Microsoft word but am unable to print it. It's in a 'queue'. Why doesn't it print? It's firmly connected to my PC and is the default printer. ???

I haven't tried this, but saw it on youtube when searching for help with a problem I was having with my printer.

Hi The Winner, Couldn't get started on the advice on youtube as he says go to 'RUN' but I don't have a 'run' listed. Wonder what the alternative is?

Can you right hand click on your printer icon and see the print queue?

The printer is set to on line is it ? Not complaining about ink ?

I think if you look at the queue and right click on the job it should give more information.

If you have a queue in your printer, then you have documents there waiting to be printed!........this should not happen, so may be a fault, but try going into the printer, and then delete all the items in the queue before the one you want to print!..........

My printer usually works when in this situation by saving your work and shutting down the printer, then re-starting after a few minutes - you may also find that it will print other documents (usually the alignment sheet,) before it does the one you really want to print!

OK. Tried turning off printer and restarting and got the test page. That's all.
I can see the print queue. The printer is set as default. How do I find out if the printer is set to 'on line' and must it be set to 'on line' even tho' I'm printing from microsoft word? WHOAH! WHOAH!!! It's suddenly started printing! My life is back on track!! Thx to evryone for your advice anyway!! YIPPEE!!

Glad you came right! Sometimes it also helps to restart your computer, and then the printer usually comes to life.
