If you look in the printer properties (somewhere inside the printer folder in control panel) you should be able to find the icon for the printer (assuming it IS installed!!). By clicking on it there should be a whole bunch of information and utilities relating to the printer. One of them may be called something like utilities, which should give you the option of printing a test sheet.

Have you just installed a new cartridge? And did you follow the instructions - did you remove the protective tape from the cartridge? | | | problem fixed - thanks to you all | Dec 2, 2003 |
I have disinstalled and reinstalled the printer, then I have dowloaded all the Microsoft updatings available et voila, here it works again (don't ask me why). I would really like to thank you all for your support - it's always nice to know there's a good Samaritan out there you can rely upon when you feel suicidal or hysterical... raffa1 | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » printer doesn't work - any suggestion?
