You could try going to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services and scroll down to Print Spooler. Turn it off and reboot then go same place and start again. This has worked for me.

I have seen this happen before with HP deskjets and I reinstalling the printers drivers did the trick each time.\n\nTry to get the most recent drivers of the printer manufacturers website.\n\nGood luck!

Sounds like something is corrupted- are other programs able to print normally?  If not,  try removing & reinstalling the printer.  If the problem is only with word, it sounds like word should be reinstalled.

Go to the Brothers website and download the drivers for that printer.\nYou may also be able to download the book for it.

Have you got the latest drivers installed for your printer ? Also when you go to print are you selecting your printer or is it set by default and it just selects it anyway ? Just a few thoughts is all :)

I'd start by uninstalling the printer and printer software completely. Reboot the computer with no printer installed. Turn off computer and restart. Then reinstall printer and software and try it again. If multiple printer choices are listed, make sure the Officejet is chosen as default. Good Luck.

The problem isn't the printer, the problem is the operating system.   Windows 98 has horrible USB support.  Either update the drivers though the Microsoft website, or put the printer on a LPT  port.

Please make sure you removed the tab that covers the ink chamber and, if it still doesn't work, try removing it and re-installing it.  You just might not have it seated properly...it happens sometimes.

Your best bet is to go to http://www.driverguide.com and look for a new printer driver.  They are broken down by model and OS.  Be sure to pick the highest rated one you can find.  Also you should check the description to see if it says USB or not.  Hope this helps

First, make sure all the cables and cords are secure and connected.\n\nNext, make sure you use the manufactures CD, if available, and install the latest device drivers for the printer (if you don't have the cd, visit http://hp.com and search for drivers).\n\nFinaly, restart your PC, and try to print again (making sure you selete the correct printer to print to).\n\nIf you are recieveing errors, or have futher problems and you have a new printer, you should be intitled to free toll-free support.

It's more due to a bad driver call or a program call then anything else.\nThe best course of action is to un install the printer and then re-install the program.

Uninstall your printer and reinstall again...if it continues then you have a driver conflict.

go to printers in control panel and delete print job and try again.  Try restarting computer and turning printer on then off if that fails.
