Try (at own risk)

Open a command prompt and enter NET USE.

Check to see if you have the same printer using LPT1.

If so, enter NET USE LPT1: /delete. You should be able to print now

Check the port settings

by CharlieSpencer In reply to Printer not printing for ...

Is the printer configured to use the proper port? Is it trying to use LPT1 when it's a USB connection?

Is this a new printer, or one that has worked in the past but stopped?

Okay, more details, please

by CharlieSpencer In reply to Yes delete many times

USB, parallel, serial, or some other connection?

What make and model of printer?

Are you using the Windows drivers or drivers from the manufacturer's web site?

Does the problem occur with all apps?

Do you accidentally have something in Printer Preferences marked as 'Write to file'?

Can you print to other printers from your computers, like a network printer connected to another computer?
