    Greetings Margie, Please ensure you have the latest printer drivers from your manufacturer. Unless you are getting Print Spooler errors the issue is with the printer or the printer drivers. For problems with the printer including blinking error lights/messages, printing odd characters, paper jam/feed issues, and ink/toner questions the manufacturer can help you with this. /Steve

    My printer will not come on.  It is plugged into power. I have clicked the "on" button repeatedly.  I have sent print jobs to the printer. Usually it comes on by itself, but it will do nothing.  I have tried unplugging the USB cord from the back and replugging, unplugging the electrical plug and plugging it in again. Is there a reset button?  (HP Deskjet D1320)  Please suggest a solution.   Thanks

    Whenever I download a document from the net, even though the size of the letters are big enough for me to read them, the print out shows a print out with very small letters. I can increase the size of the letters on the monitor but the print out still comes out with small letters. How can I remedy this problem.

    My printer got a paper jam. I removed the paper but now it will not run. I deleted the print jobs. It will not print and says the door is open. I have slammed the door over and over and held the power button off to try and start it as I was told one time before. It still says "Door open" and will not print.
