Have you "add a new printer" properly? Not enough info to be more specific! It is probably that the driver needed to run the printer properly has not been installed!

Your computer will choose a default printer if you do not choose one for it. Check that the printer info was installed properly and that you can print a test page using right click, properties on the printer icon of choice. If you can manually print a test page then both printers were installed properly. If one does not print then you know who the culprit is. You will have to maunally choose or change the default printer depending on which one you want to print to. Make sure the printer driver is installed on both computers.

When you print a test page on the printer the printer prints some printer code and extra blank printer pages What is the possible cause?

This symptom is typical of a computer using an incorrect or damaged software driver. Initiate a test print directly from the printer while disconnected from PC. Usually by holding the power button down a few extra seconds as you turn it on. If the test page is good by this method I suggest you remove all printers listed in the windows control panel. Then download the most resent software drivers for your printer from the manufacture and install them as instructed by the manufacture before reconnecting the printer to the PC.

How to Install a Printer?

When you install a printer on your computer, you are letting your operating system know that a specific kind of printer is hooked up. To install a printer, start by following the printer’s instruction manual to assemble and hook up the printer. Once you have done this you need to install the printer software. Go to the start menu, find settings, and choose printers. From you you will double click where it says Add Printers. This will open up a wizard called the Print Wizard. The Print Wizard will walk you through the steps of installing your printer. If it is a network printer, you should know its network path before completing the wizard. The wizard will ask you to insert the CD for your printer’s software. In some cases a pre-installed version of the software may already be available on the computer, although it could be outdated. The wizard will ask you if you want to use the new printer as your default printer. You should select this option only if this is the printer that you want your computer to use automatically when you choose to print a document. This means that if you want your computer to print from a different printer, you will need to select that option from the print menu whenever you print a document. If this is the only printer that you have installed on the computer than select that you would like for this printer to be the default printer. The wizard will then ask you if you would like to print out a test page. It is a good idea to do this. The test page will let you know if the printer is working properly. It will show you what the test page looks like on the screen. If it does not look like this when it prints out then there is a problem with the software. When you are satisfied with the set up of your new printer, click on the button that says finish at the bottom of the wizard. This will close the wizard and allow you to resume normal computer work. That is it, from this point forward your new printer should be working.

How do you get the printer from printing out a test page each time you turn it on?

Attempt this technique and check whether it settle your concern. 1. Kill the printer and hold up ten seconds. Turn it on once more. 2. Give the printer a chance to print the test page. 3. After the test page is printed, separate the USB link that is associating the printer to your PC. Try not to not kill the printer while separating the link. 4. Place the test page on the scanner glass and press the SCAN catch on the printer control board. The On light will streak while the page is being checked. 5. Evacuate the test page when the On light is never again blazing. 6. Kill the printer and hold up an additional ten seconds. At that point you can Turn it on once more. Is it never again printing test pages? Presently you can reconnect the USB link between the PC and the printer.
