  • Is there ink in the printer? Try printing a test sheet.

    inks are all fine,the printer works perfectly at all times,just not for word pad
  • Here are a few suggestions:
    Have you recently upgraded to windows 10 ( new driver installed maybe?)
    Can you do a print preview and see any text
    Font colour.
    I run because I like BEER..... ;)

    Will it print to 'Microsoft Print to PDF' which appears as a virtual printer? (If so you could then open up the PDF it creates, and print that.)
