Printer is not printing .

mabe you are printing on the wrong paper size: Your text is set on A4 and you are priting on a letter sized paper.

well you need to clean up ur printer it just needs a little bit of servicing , it happens when the printer is dusty because of which the sensors are blocked and because of which this problem happens...it happened in my computer..

you need to do head cleaning in your printer maintinence,

go to your control panel, find printer and faxes, open and right click on your printer. on the options select printer prefrences then maintinence tab, from there do head cleaning. you will have to keep running it till the test page prints clear and it does use a lot of your ink

hope it helps

Hi Friend,
You have mentioned this is a 2nd hand printer,
you have to service the printer,(fuser unit)
if the problem exists after fuser service check Laser Scanner also,
Thanks

Check for updated firmware and drivers. Also, if all your object and text or black try changing them to color and see if that helps, maybe there is something wrong with your black printhead, the black may not be used when printing photos, the printer may be using process black for photoes and real black for black text and objects.

model of the printer ? sound like a
heating device problem.

reinstall the driver. you can get it here

its the print head..get a new printer. OR
Brother inkjets are like the epson..once the print head goes its toast.

There's a blue protective strip on the bottom of the cartridge when you buy it, and it needs to be removed before you put the cartridge in the printer.

Make sure the drums are properly seated in their cradels, and if posible, avoid designing with white small text in heavy solid areas that are made up of process colours. For reverse type in a black background, use spot color black rather than rich black. Other than than printing on a not as heavy card, that is about all you can do.
