Printing problems

You can solve most printing problems by using the printing troubleshooter in Windows
Help and Support.
If a printer doesn't print
• Make sure the printer is on and has paper in it.
• Make sure you are using the correct printer cable or cable adapter, and that the cable
is secure at both ends.
• Check for printer errors.
If the left edge of printed output is missing
• Certain applications may not work properly with 600-dpi printers. If you're using
such a printer, try selecting a compatible printer driver for a 300-dpi printer. For
example, if you were using a 600-dpi HP LaserJet printer, you might try using the
HP LaserJet IIIsi driver (300 dpi).
If an infrared printer doesn't print
• Make sure the printer is on and has paper in it.
• Check for printer errors.
• Make sure Windows is running; otherwise infrared printing is not available.
• See "Infrared Problems" on page 104.
