Usually it's the print cartrige, if that's not the problem and it's not a REALLY expensive printer, it probably isn't worth repairing. If it's still under warranty, just take it back. If not, try the print cartrige or just get a new printer. Answer: I fixed my printer by going to a link below, "Fix your printer. Find a solution for any printer problem easily", at FixYa.com It's a free service providing answers to questions. I had a worrysome problem of a progressively worsening 1 inch wide black bar, from top to bottom on 8 1/2 x 11 inch pages, about 2 inches from the right side of pages. I thought I'd have to get my ink cartridge re-filled or buy a new printer. I bought my printer used, with no instruction booklet. I read someone's question at FixYa.com in the Oki printer section, and the person described making a test page using the printer's controls. I thought, I've got to try that. I started pressing anything on the printer that looked like an electronic control button. After about 35 trial-and-error prints, the annoying black bar is gone! Amazing! I think I caused the problem somehow. Maybe when I removed the ink cartridge out of curiosity and re-installed it. Maybe from curiously pressing the electronic button pad on top of the printer, just to see what it'd do. I'm relieved the problem's solved. I'm surprised my OKIPAGE 10e printer works at all with my computer, because Windows 98 doesn't even list my printer as one which can be connected to it. Incredibly, Windows 98 thinks my printer is an Okidata OL-600e.

Check your ink or toner supply, and that the printer is receiving the correct signals from the computer or network. If a test page is blank, you are either out of ink or the print head has failed. Always try a different printer before assuming that the printer is broken -- it could be the connection or the manner in which the data is being received.

A print head problem happens to your printer. Sometimes the problem is the ink cartridge being full or dirty. You have to clean the print head to make it run correctly.

Why printer queue and printer drivers are required?

A printer driver is a bit of software that instructs a printer how to work. Without such a driver, the printer may not work, or print rubbish. A print queue forms when a print job is sent to the printer that is already printing. Once the first print job has been completed, the second print job is then printed.
