Boy have I had fun this morning. I,ve reinstalled my printer, and it did work, BUT, this is the problem. My daughter had typed up some homework on my new microsft word thingy, (I forget what it’s proper name is) and saved it into documents ok? Then she went back later to finish it, THEN, when she clicked on the little print icon this bloody window keeps popping up to ask her if she wants to save it into a document, when it,s already there, it won,t print it off. If we click the file tab and scroll down to print it does the same thing, yet when I just typed something into a plain document and clicked print, it printed it, so WHY won,t it print her document? ffs. Why can,t things just bloody work. Oh and the internet, had fun with that too. I ended up running windows diagnostic tool and had to unplug the router for 3 mins and reconect everything and so far, it,s all working. My language has been somewhat colourfull this morning. ffs. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
That what I have to do (All the time), If it gets stuck or something wont work…I turn off
unplugg..leave for a few mins..start up again, and Bobs ya uncle..Its all works fine again.. :roll:Jesus Christ !!!! Can’t trust you with an electric toaster …. much less a (proper) computer.
Go to START > SETTINGS > PRINTERS & FAXES – then check to see that your newly installed printer is set up as the “default printer”.
My guess is that when you sare trying to print off a document that has already been saved to your hard disk – Word is attempting to ‘print to file’ tather than print using your system printer.

Don,t you start picking on me already lol, it,s not my bloody fault if things don,t work, (well not all the time lol). Right I did that, but errr, how do I check that mine is the default printer? :?
It opened a box that says “Add printer” then it shows mine, and says it,s offline(because is isn,t plugged into the pc) then it has another box that says “Microsoft document image writer” whatever the hell that is, then another one that says, “microsoft xps document writer ready” .
Can,t see nowt anywhere that tells me if my printer is the default one or not. Bloody pile of junk it is. The way my language is going at the moment the bloody thing is going up the tip!! ffs.
:evil: :evil: Poor old Bat.
Ahhhhhhhhh I just noticed that in the bit where it shows my printer, there is a tick next to it. So does that mean it is set up as the default printer then? Because the stupid bloody useless pile of junk STILL won,t print her document………ffs. :evil:

Oh thats easy to cure. Take them out and soak them in a cleanser… :)
Turn off the computer
Plug in the printer and turn it on
Turn the computer on
Then when windows is going and working
Start – Control Panel- Printers and Faxes
Look for your printer, if its not there reinstall it, (hit add printer)
Then reboot
If it there
Right click and set it to “default printer”
Double click on it and you should see the printing queue and look for your missing document.
If its not there you need to hit
Start – search – and when it ask you “what do you want to search for” hit “documents and word processing ect.
Then pop the file name in the box and see if it can find it, then print it.
If you need a new home printer see:

Spherical objects to you young man. :lol: :lol:
Now I am mystified because I have just sat and printed off a LOT of stuff that was already in my documents, so I know I,ve installed it correctly,( I had to stop because I ran out of print paper ffs) and I opened up a blank office word document thingy, or whatever it,s called and typed something and saved it to my documents. Then I went into my documents and clicked the little print icon and it printed it off quite happily, SO why didn,t my daughters? Very odd.
BTW, you know when you turn your printer on and it tells you that you have X amount of print jobs left, does it start from where you left off? Because if I have to start from page one again I shall go more batty than I am now!! ffs. :evil:
