    Too many variables here--


    What OS are you running


    Are you using USB or wireless?  serial?? parallel??


    Did you install drivers?   (Check ctrl.panel/printers (do you see your printer listed as active?)


    is the printer plugged in??

    What operating system are you using?? Are you using windows? If so, shut down then insert USB cable to the printer and reboot, windows 'should' identify the printer and install the driver for you. - This works but usually its a generic workaround driver. if it doesn't recognize the printer then shut down the printer, unplug the usb wait a few minutes turn on printer and plug it back in -- If this doesn't work, I think you have a printer problem. Its not communicating.
    good luck
    if you have an apple product and O/S, sorry i can't help you, apple products are too user friendly for me.. LOL

    I have bought a  HP computer and I can't get my HP printer to work?  Any help would be appreciated.
