When you do allignment and nozzle check, the software should automatically print some test pattern. Are those test pattern printed properly?\n\nIf it does, then the printer and driver should be ok. There might be something wrong with the application you use to print your document.\n\nIf it doesn't print the test pattern properly, \n\nthen:\n1. make sure the printer power is ok, is the power ON LED lighted?\n\n2. make sure all the cables are well connected, unplug and pluggin again, then try again.\n\n3. if it is still not working, then tell us more details about what have you tried and how the printer response. so we can more specifically figure out what is the problem.

If you're using an ink-jet printer, it sounds like the print heads need cleaning.  You often get white lines when dirt or dry ink builds up.  You can use household items to clean, but it's probably best to buy cleaning cartridges.  See the links below for further information.\n\nhttp://www.e-inkjet.co.uk/cgi-bin/cleaning.asp\nhttp://www.cartridgesave.co.uk/info/inkjet-cleaning-cartridges.html

Try running the virus protection and anti-spyware in safe mode. To get to safe mode, hold down the F8 key and one of the ctrl keys during boot-up. Get Ad-Aware from Lavasoft, if you don't have it already. Make sure all of these programs are updated and current before you run them. Spool32 sounds like your printer spooler is messed up. The spooler is temporary memory area for documents before the printer prints them. This could be a RAM issue also. Since the dial-up connection box keeps coming up for no reason. If you know your way around the insides of a computer, turn it off and unplug it remove the case cover and check the memory modules are seated well in the DIMM slots. Run MEMTEST 86+ to see if the memory is okay.

Actually, it means that the printer can only accept direct definition of what the computer wants to print down to 600x600. The printer has special engineering that allows it to 'guess' at how best to interpolate extra dots. The technology typically does amazing with text and less amazing with images.\n\nImagine if a display only showed abbreviations instead of full words. You could read it pretty well if it was all English words, but you'd never be able to guess at things like long last names.

Somewhere within your printer software are utilities for cleaning the nozzles.  Run those utilities 2-3 times and it should be fine.\n\nSomething to think about:  color laser printers are much more affordable than they used to be.  While the initial cost is higher than inkjet printers, the cost-per-page makes that initial expense WELL WORTH it.  For photo-quality prints, I use http://www.snapfish.com .

Delete the spool files and restart the spooler and check. \n\n1.  Stop the spooler:\n   a.  Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, then Services. \n   b.  Scroll down the list of services for Print Spooler. \n   c.  Right click Print Spooler and Stop. \n\n2.  Delete the spool files:\n   a.  Click My Computer. \n   b.  Go to C:&#92;WINNT&#92;system32&#92;spool&#92;PRINTERS&#92; . \n   c.  Delete all of the files inside of this folder. \nNOTE: If the spooler is working correctly, this folder should be empty when the computer is not printing. \n\nIt normally deletes these files out of this folder after they have been sent to the printer. Deleting \n\nfiles that are stuck can free up the spooler and allow it to continue normal operation. \n\n3.  Restart the spooler:\n   a. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, then Services \n   b.  Scroll down the list of services for Print Spooler. \n   c.  Right click Print Spooler and Start.

Try and isolate the problem first... can other users hit that printer, or can no one print from that printer. If it's just one user/pc, I'd be thinking connectivity problem from that user's pc, or a rights and permissions issue. If no one can, I'd be thinking a printer connectivity problem, or printer service/ hardware problem.\n\n\nFirst thing is check the simple stuff. Is the target printer on? Online? Everything closed (no open panels)?\n\nIf it's shared, is the target pc it's connected to on? Does that PC have a connection to the network at present? If it's a networked printer, does it have a connection?\n\nCheck power on/ power cables for printer (and pc if shared). Check if printer online. Check connectivity for the pc (if shared) by pinging that pc, or having that pc ping another one on your network segment. If networked, ping the printer's NIC card.  \n\nIf it's a connectivity problem, check the ipconfig settings for the pc or printer (is it getting an IP addy, right subnet mask, etc), ping loopback addy for NIC functionality, etc.\n\nIf the printer is online and appears to have connectivity at both ends (make sure the user has connectivity as well), then start troubleshooting the printer... jam, too large a file in the print queue, corrupt file in the queue, etc.

Try this:\nClick Start -> Run  and type cmd and click OK\nAt the command prompt type these five commands\ncd c:&#92;winnt&#92;system32&#92;spool&#92;printers\nnet stop spooler\ndel *.*    (after enter type y for yes)\nnet start spooler\nexit\nNow try your printers\nThe c:&#92;winnt&#92;system32&#92;spool&#92;printers folder holds all of the print queues, not the actual printers themselves so don't worry about having to re-install anything.\nTo delete any bad jobs the spooler service has to be stopped first, hence net stop and net start spooler\nHope this helps!
