hi...if you are using win2k or win xp just go to control panel and choose printer and fax category ( make sure you are in classic view or if not switch it to classic view")\n\nMake sure that your HP printer is your default printer (have a black check mark on it.)\n\nCancel all documents that is still on pending and after that connect your printer device. Make sure the software is properly installed and cables are properly or securely in place. \n\nIf that didnt work then might as well unistall your software and install it back in. Follow the steps that is indicated in your HP usermanual.\n\nhope that helps..

Open the Faxes and Printers on your computer. Can you see your Printer on the list? If not then install the appropriate printer for your printer. Restart and try again.

To get your printer to work you should just need to download and install the driver from the manufacturers website. If your printer is still under warranty they should help you reinstall your printer drivers.\n\n1. Goto http://support.dell.com click on printers -> Dell Printers\n2. Under "printer troubleshooting" click on "Drivers and Downloads"\n3. Select your model of printer from the Product model and download drivers for XP. ** Remember where you downloaded them to and what the file is called. **\n4. ** UNPlug your printer from the computer.\n5. Check in Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs that there is not a listing for your dell printer, if there is uninstall it.\n6. Check in Start, Control Panel, Printers if your printer is already setup. If it it right click on it and delete the printer. \n5. Install the drivers by double clicking the file your downloaded. It should go thru an install program. Do not plug in your printer until it tells you. It might do this after the computer restarts.\n\nOnce everything is done and you have plugged in your printer check in Start, Control Panel, Printers and verify your printer is listed.

• Click Start and then click Control Panel. \n \n• Click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Printers and Faxes. \n \n• In the Printers and Faxes folder, I clicked the printer's icon and, in the tasks pane, I clicked Share This Printer. \n \n• I opened the printer's Properties dialog box, and clicked on the Sharing tab. \n \n• I clicked Share Name, and then clicked OK. \n \n\nThat's it—the printer was immediately available for other computers to use.\n\nNow that I had a network printer, I was ready to connect to it and print from other computers on the network.\n\nTo connect to the printer\n\n• I opened Control Panel, and clicked Printers and Other Hardware. \n \n• I clicked Add a Printer. \n \n• Instead of adding a local printer, though, I clicked Printer Connection and then browsed the network for the printer. \n \n\nThe whole process took less than a minute before I was printing to the network printer as though it was connected to the computer

Either your printer is switched off or your printers driver is not installed. You must install your printer bu going to START -> PRINTERS AND FAXES-> ADD A PRINTER

I have a Dell printer as well and sadly you can only purchase it from them to avoid damage to your printer or invalidating your warranty (if you have one)

plug in a printer (it is better if you have an all-in-one) to your computer > enable fax services(WinXP) it is that simple. If you need more help, email me.

Maybe the circuitry is fried.  Reinstall the printer driver, make sure none of the plastic strips are still in the printer cartridge and then reboot your computer.

The Dell A940 is actually a Lexmark printer and I hate to say this, rubbish. Full uninstall and the then reinstall might do it. \n\nThis happens on Lexmark printers all the time, so much so they issued a cleanup tool to download. Unfortunately as it is Dell branded no such tool is available.\n\nOn to the dell support line you go.... If you are lucky, you will still be alive by the time they reply!!!

try this - Open Printers and Faxes > File > Server Properties > Drivers > Installed Printer Drivers > click each one (except your current printer) and click on the Remove button.

geeze. bmx_matt1234 if that's your answer then stop answering questions.\n\nYou will want to capture the printer port prior to running your DOS app. This should work but not always as XP DOS is not really DOS.\n\nI'm not going to retype the solutions already typed out at these sites, check them out:

Try unplugging it from the wall, this will reset all errors.  If it still says the message, try opening up different areas too reseting the message.  Dell aka Lexmark has had many problems such as this one and depending how old it is trash it if can't fix problem.  The cost of fixing will be too much, buy a epson or hp.  good luck!

To send fax from your machine, you need to start fax service of your computer, you need phone connection to fax though
