Hi,
Thank you for your response, just try the following solution, wont take much of your time.
1. Check if the printer is plugged in properly. Confirm
that printer power plug is connected to the printer and plugged into a live power
outlet. After the printer is plugged in, the printer switches on automatically. There
is no power button on the printer.
If the printer will not operate, see "The
printer will not operate after it is plugged in"
2. This problem may arise if the printer and the computer
are not connected properly. Ensure that the power cord and printer cable are securely
connected.
3. Another possible reason to this problem is the
operation of the print spool. If the print spool is not operating correctly, cancel
print spooling and print with the print data sent directly to the printer.
Follow the procedures below:
A. Open the Printer Properties dialog box directly
from the Start button.
B. Click the Spool Settings button on the Details
tab and select "Print directly to the printer."
4. Ensure that the printer port (LPT1) is functioning
properly.
Check the status of the printer port:
A. Right-click My Computer on the desktop and select
Properties from the pop-up menu.
B. Click the Device Manager tab. Double-click Ports
on the Device Manager tab then double-click Printer Port (LPT1).
C. Check information about problems with the port
in Device Status in the General tab.
D. Click the Resources tab and check Conflicting devices.
For information on how to delete a conflicting device, refer to the user's manual
for the device.
5. Installation of printer driver may cause this problem
as well. There may be a problem with the printer driver. Remove the printer driver
and reinstall it.
6. Check whether there is a WPS (Windows Printing
System) driver installed on your computer. You may not be able to print correctly
if a WPS driver is installed.
A. Click Start, Settings, then Printers.
B. If a WPS driver is installed, open the WPS driver
Properties dialog box by right-clicking its icon and selecting Properties from the
pop up menu. In the Details tab, check the "print to the following port"
setting.change the WPS driver port setting to FILE or uninstall the WPS driver.
GoodLuck
Thank You
Riz

Is your network lan or wireless? If lan check cables, if wireless check ip address. Your system printers have to see the device and if wireless it will be assigned an IP address.

If you boot from the XP CD and choose the first repair option it will load to a DOS prompt. From there type "chkdsk /r" and press enter. This will run checkdisk on your hard drive and repair any problems that it finds. It will take 45 minutes or more depending on the size of your drive. Once it finishes type exit to reboot and remove the CD. Your computer should boot normally.

Hi. You haven't said what operating system you're using or wether or not this is a recent thing. However if you are using Windows XP or Vista you can go to control panel, printers and scanners, under XP, or printers and other hardware under Vista, right click your printer and see if there is a check/tick against use printer offline. If there is uncheck it and see if that works.
I hope that helps but without anything to go on its only a guess. Good luck

Let the windows promp you, then when it asks for the cd say "i have one" or something around that line. exit out of the auto run set up and go with the windows set up, then once installed you're ready to print.
