Hello all, after a reformat I've been unable to print any docs. The computer will print a test page but will not print anything else.

dell dimension 8400 windows xp pro 5.1.2600 service pack 3 build 2600
x 86 based PC, norton 360

Given the limits genetics have imposed upon me, I am NEARING the point of a sea burial for my once trusty computer. I'm reasonably sure this is my fault...(x-wife supports this belief)... but I'm not sure what I did, (confused state also supported by x-wife), any help or large sums of money will be greatfully accepted.
Paulleesurly you will have to PUT the printer cd in and run it


your ex-wife might confirm thisAnd the printer is.......Brand, Model.....? Yes I've reloaded the hp disk, and the problem persists.
As the printer will print a test page as commanded by the computer, it seems the printer is set up properly. Any docs in the queue will not print.
The x knows less than me...look who she married....
Thanks for the quick response.oops SORRY, hp deskjet 5150Quote from: paullee on July 23, 2009, 12:58:57 PM

Since test page is printing, I suspect all you need to do is set the default printer.
Start---Settings---Printers and Faxes
The one with the check-mark is set to the Default Printer, if none are checked, right-click, and select "Set as Default Printer" Yes it's already set as the default printer...black check mark on the icon...http://uk.search.yahoo.com/search?ei=UTF-8&y=Search&rd=r1&fr=yfp-t-501&p=hp+printer+forum&SpellState=n-742358861_q-hGv97srjUrchm5fqWEkn0QAAAA%40%40&fr2=sp-qrw-corr-top
