    Make sure it not out of ink,ext.

    Teri Printers dont print for a ton of reasons.  The first thing I suggest is going to the printer manufactures web site and look for the lastest installation/driver download.  In cases where a printer just stops working the reasons are mostly the device driver.  Next is a hardware failure.  Drivers are easily fixed while hardware is a more costly fix.  Some easy things to check. Go to "my computer" (after reboot) and see if the printer is listed.  If not reinstall the printer software.  Check cables.  You can also try to unplug the printer from the pc. Then reboot. Then plug the computer back in to see if the PC recoginzed the printer.  I do this step because sometimes a USB port will not recognize the device.  When you reattach to your pc the compter should immediatly prompt you and have additional instructions to follow.  Hope this helps
