If you are using Vista there might be some "compatibility issues" ... if this is the case the printer manufacturer probably has a compatible driver you can download from their website.

If this is not the case, take a large hammer to it.

check teh spool Q, it might just be that teh computer is storing them to print when you tell it to. I can't quite recall where it is on XP/vista as its probably > 7 yeras since I last did it. use help to guide you or google

do the lights come on when the printer is on indpendent of the PC.

Make and model might be helpful. If it's an Epson it usually means it's goosed.

Check that your printer is set to default. Some programs you install, will install a print driver (MS Office) and make this the default.
