PRINTING ISSUES

[JATE]

I need help. I was printing some documents. I have inserted borders or outlines in text. When I previewed my document, the outline was fine but when it came out of the printer, the outline was a little bit off the text. I tried reprinting the documents several times but still came out the same. Same with pictures and cliparts. What should I do? I used MS Word for the document. Is it the printers fault? or the document itself and the settings? thank you

@JATE I'll need to know if that windows OS you've got installed on the device that's being used with the printer, also, if it is, try the below steps:

Check the copier as a stand-alone device without a computer and check if that works,:

• If it doesn't work, this could be a hardware issue,
• however, if the copier works and yet, the print out from the computer doesn't work in color, you can try the below steps:

• Press "Windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window.
• Type "services.msc" to get Services - Go to "Print spooler" - Right-click and "Stop" the service.
• Now again open "Run" - Type "spool" and ok - Go to PRINTERS folder - delete everything in that folder.
• Go to services again - Start the print spooler.
• Now check for issue resolution.
• If the issue persists, also try clean installing the printer drivers. Here are the steps:
• First, unplug the USB cable from the printer if present. 
• Go to Control panel - Programs and feature - Select all the HP printer entries and uninstall them.
• Now go to Control panel - Devices and printer - Select all the printer entries and remove the device.
• Press the "windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window open - Type "printui.exe /s" (There is a space between .exe & /) and press enter.
• Under print server properties, go to drivers - remove any entry there as well.
• Again, go to the Run window, type - "c:/programdata" - Go to the Hewlett Packard folder, remove any printer related folders & files.
• Restart your computer.

Then, use this link to access the HP website, find the drivers compatible with your windows and install it: CLICK HERE

If the issue persists, please go ahead and install the windows built-in drivers: 

If a full feature driver from HP is not available for your printer, you must install the built-in print driver. A full feature driver for one or more Windows versions is not available for your printer, either from the CD that shipped with your printer or from the HP website.

   NOTE:

Where is the download button? The HP print driver is built into the Windows operating system or is installed through the Windows Update feature on your computer. You do not need to download anything from a website in order to print, scan, or fax.

See the Frequently asked questions in this document for additional information, including how to scan using this driver.
