i solve the problem using EMULTATION for drivers

 

 

Method 3: Install an emulation printer driver
If the problem persists after you install the most recent version of the
printer driver for your printer, install an emulation printer driver. An
emulation printer driver is a driver that imitates the functionality of a
different printer driver. For example, you may be able to resolve this issue if
you install the driver for the Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 550C printer or for
the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet II printer. To do this, follow these steps if the
printer is connected directly to the computer:
1. Click Start, and then click Printers and Faxes.
2. Double-click Add Printer.
3. Click Next, and then click Local printer attached to this computer.
4. In the Use the following port box, select the port that you want to
use.
If the printer is connected directly to the computer, the port is
typically LPT1 (Recommended Printer Port).
5. Under Manufacturer, click the manufacturer of the printer driver
that you want to use as the emulation driver. For example, if you are
installing Hewlett Packard 550c, click HP DeskJet 550c.
6. Under Printers, click the model of the printer that you want to use
as the emulation driver, and then click Next. Select HP. In Drivers,
select HP DeskJet 550c.
7. In the Printer name box, type a name for the printer, click Yes to set
the printer as the default printer, and then click Next.
8. Click the appropriate option for sharing the printer, and then click
Next.
9. Click No, and then click Next.
10. Click Finish.
Note If you are using a USB printer, go to step 12.
11. Start Works, and then try to print the spreadsheet or the database
file.
12. Open Control Panel.

13. Open Printers and Faxes.
14. Right-click HP 550c, and then click Properties.
15. Click Ports.
16. Click USB001 Virtual Printer port for USB.
17. Click Apply, and then click OK.
18. Start Works, and then try to print the spreadsheet or the database
file.
