homework

i can't print my son's homework, what am i doing wrong?

Maggie,

There's a lot of people available to help, but with a generic question that
provides no information, it's nearly impossible to determine what the
problem is.

What is the operating system, Windows XP ?
What application are you trying to print from?
Can you print from other applications?
What error messages (If any) do you receive when you try to print?
Is the printer you're trying to print to set up as the default printer?
Is the printer on, does it have paper?
Is it still connected? USB or Parallel cable?

Some simple suggestions to help get you going, and I'm going to assume you
are using Windows XP...

Look in the lower right hand corner of the screen. Is there a small icon
that looks like a printer and has a small question mark next to it?

If the printer has a cable with a very small and squarish connector, unplug
it and then plug it in again and see if that helps.

Also, click on the start button, then Control Panel / Printers and other
Hardware / Printers and Faxes. Double Click on the printer you're trying to
print to and click on Printer from the menu. Verify that the this option is
set as default.

You could also try rebooting to see if that helps.
