Need to know a bit more. Is this an older printer? It may not be compatible with your computer/OS. Try checking with your Operating System to see if it is compatible with the printer. Go to Windows Help to find out more about printer conflicts and compatibilities.

There are lots of possible reasons why it's happening.

1. Printer compatibility - Make sure that the printer is compatible with the operating system of your computer.

2. Correct driver - Be sure that you installed the correct printer driver for the printer to the computer.

3. Printer connection - check if the printer is properly connected to the computer.

4. Printer settings - Go to the printer properties and make sure that your printer is set as the default printer.

You may refer to the user manual for trouble-shooting guide.

Printers are compatible with all computers; however the printer software must be designed for the operating system (ie Win98 or XP). Go to the following site, and enter your printer model number.
