Printer

 Printer – Printing problems let’s talk about them!

Today I want to go over several reasons why your computer may not be printing. The level of difficulty for diagnosing the problem ranges from easy to medium overall the process is relatively simple.

Computer Repair Tip Number One: 

Now that you’ve been dying to try out that brand new printer of yours. Take everything out of the box and set the cords aside.  Always make sure with any new device that you install the drivers that came with the printer. Drivers are required for your computer to properly communicate with the printer. Without the drivers you printer will not function correctly unless those drivers are installed.
