Hey guys,

My printer RECENTLY just died. When I try printing, it doesn't detect the printer and says to make sure that it's connected properly and the printer power is on. I have checked both. Yet, i can still copy stuff using the printer.1.  Printer.
     a.  Make and Model Number
     b.  Type of INTERFACE (Parallel, USB, Wireless, Ethernet)
   
2.  Client Operating System (of computer requesting print)?

Windows XP Professional 64bit SP2Try reinstalling the driver, how OLD is it?  Usually its easier to get a new one.You can find the driver for XP 64bit.--->Here

I would advise you to uninstall the old drivers,unplug the printer USB
plug,reboot,install the driver,shut down,plug back in USB plug-in,reboot
and see if it works okay.

If this works alright and you see a WoodPecker flying over,send him
home to me.His NAME is Peckerwood.... Only joking friend.... It's a new printer. BOUGHT last year. I will try that method street1Street, are you giving Sashimi the bird, already?? Quote from: Aegis on April 05, 2008, 01:41:33 AM
