Printer my printer wont print the page i have on screen is this because i have notepad in my start icons? if so how do i remove can you help please?

are you facing same problem with other document like notepad ...... please check it please ..... open a notepad type some thing like test print and give print and check its comes blank pages or not .... if its not coming please check the document setting how many pages your document heaving you can give number pages you want to print ....... if you facing same problem with notepad please post you comment ........... and try to uninstall the printer driver and reinstall it ..............

It is more likely the program that you are using than the prnter. Open START ACCESSORIES and NOTEPAD place some text on thios page and send to printer If this prints OK then whatever you are using to create the documents that dont print is the offender. If its a mices all thaduct Can I recommend a freebie that does all that MS does and more.

go to www.openoffice.org and download the program. Its a full working and FREE type of MS office without any high price tag. It writes like MSOffice saves files in office foirmat and reads msoffice files It also behaves better in printing. Even the menu and icons are similar

In this case what i would Request u to do is......... Goto Control Panel goto Printers folder......... There u will see the Dell Printer Icon........... Just right click on the Printer Icon and click on Properties......... Now click on Advanced and goto Print Processor......... Change it to WinPrint RAW  Click on Apply click Ok now try to Print.......... Prints Fine............Issue Resolved........ Good Luck..............

Click on Start,
Go to Control Panel,
open Printer and Faxes
look for the Printer which is HP C5280 or any icon related to same,
Right click
Choose set as default
Close Everything
Shutdown your computer and Printer
Check and make sure that the USB cable is connected propely
Restart the Printer first and then the computer,try Printing some thing.

if this doesnt resolve you issue then i would suggest you to uninstall the printer software and reinstall and update it from HP.com.

Please let me know about the resolution

Can you please provide us the model and brand of this printer so we can help you better tahnk you..

try to do this set of instruction & solution:

1. Go to Start | Control Panel | Printers And Other Hardware | Printers And Faxes. Double-click the icon for your printer to open the Documents window and clear any pending print jobs by selecting Cancel All Documents from the Printer drop-down menu
2. Try printing a test page from the printer, not from Windows XP. Most printers have a built-in test function that's activated by holding down one or more buttons while the printer is starting up. Check your printer's user manual for instructions. If this page prints successfully, you know the problem is either with your connection or with the software in your computer.
3. Check your printer's USB or parallel connection.
4. Try printing something simple from Windows' Notepad. To open Notepad, go to Start | All Programs | Accessories | Notepad, type a few lines of text in a document, and try printing it. If it successfully prints, the problem is with the software program you originally tried to print from.
5. Try printing using Windows XP's generic printer driver. Open and run the Add Printer Wizard. When you get to the Install Printer Software screen, select Generic under Manufacturer and Generic/Text Only under Printers (see Figure 2).
   
6. Select No for Do You Want To Use This Printer As The Default Printer? (see Figure 3). Click Next.
   
7. When prompted on the next screen, tell Windows XP to print a test page. If the page successfully prints, then you probably have a problem with your installed printer driver. Either update or reinstall the driver.
