Printing Problems

For most printing problems, use the Print Troubleshooter in Windows Help.
If a serial or parallel printer doesn't print
Check that you are using a proper cable or cable adapter, and that the printer is on.
Check for paper in the printer or other printer errors.
Make sure the printer cable is secure at both ends.
If an infrared printer doesn't print
Windows NT 4.0 doesn't support infrared.
Make sure the infrared light path is not blocked.
Check for paper in the printer or other printer errors.
Make sure Windows is running—infrared printing is supported only while Windows is
running.
An infrared driver must be installed and the BIOS Setup setting must be enabled. For details,
see Infrared Problems.
In Windows Help, use the Print Troubleshooter.
If the left edge of printed output is missing
If the printer you are using is a 600-dpi (dots per inch) printer, try selecting a compatible
printer driver for a 300-dpi printer. For example, for a 600-dpi HP LaserJet printer, try using
the HP LaserJet IIIsi driver (300-dpi). Certain applications may not work properly with
600-dpi printers.
