1) do you have the printer selected as your default printer?

2) did you install the software for the printer?

yes it is installed and it is supposed to be my default printer...but when Iclick on the icon...it doesnt work? i dunno...

Also, remember if you want your husband's computer to print to it also...you have to set your printer to "Share"

thanks I'll try that...

From the Printers/Faxes screen, right click the icon and click "Print test page" Make sure your printer is online first. Are you sure the cables are connected properly? If all else fails, find the install disk and reinstall the printer. That most of the time solves the problem. If not, we'll continue to try ;)
