  • Any more info to isolate the problem pal?

    How far does it go before it fails to print? Or does it go through the whole process including displaying the progress bar and saying it's printing?

    How long have you had it? I had the C64 or 66 can't remember but they're pretty much the same... stopped working after about three years of moderate use for no apparent reason so I just chucked it out and got a new printer/scanner/copier (Epson DX6000) for around the same price (£70).

    You have other options as well like re-installing the drivers and software, opening the printer and hoovering/blowing away dust. Try out the USB port with other devices to see if it works ok. That's all my brain's giving me at the moment.

    In the manual it should tell you how to do a test print directly from the printer. Try that and see if that works.

    Does it do anything at all when yu try to print?
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die
