    If something is asking you to pay to download, then you are better staying well away!
    Have you checked the printer for the obvious paper jams, torn bits of paper, trays not seated etc. Does the printer have a self test button you can try?

    If you read the manual then it will tell you how to run the self test facility. It's not a dedicated button as such.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
