When you select a document for printing, a printer icon appears in your system tray (system tray is that line of icons beside the clock time).  Double click this printer icon in the system tray and a printer window appears.  Click on "printer" then "cancel all documents" then "yes". This will clear all documents in line for printing.

Try doing repetative cleanings with the software...sometimes twenty times.\nyou could try to clean the printhead with alcohol....if it built in to the printer...take alcohol soaked paper towel and lay inside to run printhead over.\nIf that don't work then you may have a bad printhead.\n\nWhich most printers are disposable nowadays.

Print spooler is not usually a "problem", but to disable it, go to Start - Run and type SERVICES.MSC and hit Enter.\n\nThere, find the service that says Print Spooler and right click.  Go to Properties and click STOP if it's running.  Then, in the dropdown box, select Disable.  Okay your way out.  Problem solved.  You will not be able to print until you reenable the service.  You may want to select Manual.

1. Turn the printer off, wait 10 minutes, and then turn the printer on. 2. If the message persists, reseat the fuser. If that does not work, replace the fuser. To check the fuser, turn the printer off and remove the fuser. Measure the resistance between the fuser connectors. If it is not within the proper range, replace the fuser. If there is not continuity between the fuser connectors neutral and hot with the fuser removed, replace the fuser. If the problem is not related to the fuser, replace the engine controller board.

Assuming you put some more paper in the tray, check the print spool queue to see if you need to restart the job that was intrerrupted.\n\nYou should be able to click on the little icon of a printer at the bottom right of your screen.

Have you got the latest drivers installed for your printer ? Also when you go to print are you selecting your printer or is it set by default and it just selects it anyway ? Just a few thoughts is all :)

Try re-installing the printer driver then, fix your settings. It should work well this time, else consider virus scan for your system; if that does not work, re-install your operating system.

If it worked properly at first, and it is locked in correctly it may have been handled too much and is soiled. Remove the cartridge and clean the contacts in the printer socket and the cartridge itself with rubbing alcohol. CAreful not to leave bits of paper or rag behind. Inspect areas with bright light and magnifying glass and remove any debris.\nIt could also use a reinstall of software.\nIf it isn't available, quite often deleting the software, shutting off the computer with the printer turned on, wait 5 minutes and turn the computer back on. It should discover the printer and reinstall appropriate software for it.

Has it been awhile since you have used the printer?\n\nThe sad fact is that over time when a printer is not in use ink will dry in the print head.   When this happens the only remedy is repeated print head cleanings.  You should find instructions on how to do this in your manual.  If you find that  you have gone through about 20 cleanings with no improvements , then unfortunately it may be time to take the printer to be professionally serviced, or replace the print head.  \n\nAs a warning cleaning does suck up a lot of ink, but it is in the name of getting the printer going again.

Can you print a demo page from the printer? That is always the best first step in diagnosing a printer problem! If you can, you know the printer will print, so we can move on to the connections.\n\nEnsure your connections are sound. Unplug and reattatch all your cables, including your power cable. (If you can't shut off your Printer using its own power button, that may signal that there is a serious problem with the printer.) OK, once all the cables are back in place, try to print again. NOTHING?\n\nNext, uninstall and reinstall your printer. Ensure that you completly uninstall your printer from your PC, don't just update the drivers. The installed drivers may be corrupt. Also, if you allow windows to reinstall the drivers and the printer continues to have the same issue, you may need to download a new driver from the manufacturers web site. If the windows version of the driver didn't work, uninstall and reinstall using this downloaded driver instead.\n\nIf that doesn't work...here is where can get pricey!\n\nFirst, if you have a friend with a accessable PC, take your printer there, hook it up as you would at home and see what happens. If it has the same issue there, then you have narrowed down the problem to being either the printer or the cable connecting the printer to the PC.\n\nSecond step would be to replace the printer cable. (Mind you, this may not be your issue, it could still be the printer and you may waste your money) A good solution is if that same friend uses the same type of cable you do, use that one and see if your printer works. If none of that works, it is time to put that printer out to pasture and buy a new one!

Sounds like a faulty driver giving your computer incorrect instructions.  First, try uninstalling and then reinstalling your printer drivers.  Next, run the printer utilities (found by going  Contro Panel>Printers and Faxes and right clicking on the troubled printer and clicking properties.  Then click the "utilities" tab and use all of them to make sure it's not a simple quick fix you need.).  That should do it.

It sounds as if you might not have the right driver installed for your printer.\n\nMake sure you have the proper driver installed by deleting the printer from your system and re-adding it. You may also want to check with the printer manufacturer to make sure you have the most recent driver.\n\nHope this helps.

Sounds like a problem with the printers drivers. Try updating to the newest version, or contact your printers technical support.
