check your services? if so i would try and remove the printer and reinstall it on to your computer

Start > run command > regedit >

Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers . For each printer, check which print processor, if any are using a 3rd party Print Processor change it to "WinPrint" (case sensitive). Then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Print Processors and delete all entries EXCEPT for "WinPrint"

**Remember to back up the hive before you make the changes. The registry is the backbone of the system be very careful! This is AT YOUR OWN RISK!
