Hi 123jake,

 

Sounds like the cartridges are not working of they are empty. Have you tried new cartridges in the printer?

To recap as I keep getting the same suggestions:-

 

The ink cartridges are fine, the printer works fine off my old laptop with XP - it prints word documents and will do a test page.

 

Trying the driver for the 990c - there is a 'communication' between the new laptop with Windows 7 but it does not print a test page and when I try to print a document - it draws the paper into the printer but it remains blank.

 

I have tried the drivers for the other printers as suggested in earlier replies - they dont work at all

 

PLEASE can anyone suggest how to make it work???????

Thanks
