My Printer Just Wont Print.
5 Answers
The paper goes in the printer and comes out blank. There are no error messages infact the printer looks normal but just doesn't print. The cartridge is almost new and has printed OK before. Its driving me insane as I have checked everything.

If, for example, you view a PDF document in a web browser window and then click on File>Print from the browser's menu (or press Ctrl+P) you'll get a blank sheet of paper. (You need to use the separate print option within the actual PDF area). So it's possible that your printer might be working perfectly but you're using the software incorrectly.
If you're confident that it's not a software problem, try running the print head cleaning routine for your printer (using the 'deep clean' option if there is one).

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the printer driver:
Go to Start > Settings > Printer & Faxes (or get there via your Control Panel). Right-click on the icon for you printer. Select 'Delete' and confirm your choice. Restart your computer. Then reinstall the driver either from the disk which came with the printer or downloaded from here:

(When you've downloaded the file you'll need to double-click on it to run the installation program).
