When I go to Control Panel, then Printers, it shows the printer is there and is ready to print (indicated by the green check mark). This Toshiba Satellite laptop appears to have three ports, which I assume are USB, and presently I have my cordless mouse, a keyboard (since I don't like the laptop's keyboard) and the printer plugged into them. Do I simply click on another port and then hit configure? or apply? or ? I'm just really confused. I know there have been times where a prompt would appear suggesting that other ports would be faster, but I was not sure what they were telling me to do. I wondered if it has something to do with ports, and have been changing some of the settings but still haven't figured it out. What could my problem be? I have very limited knowledge so please be specific. I plugged it in and hoped for Windows to do its job on its own, making it work immediately, but it did not find any drivers.
They said to just turn everything off, and back on, and that the laptop would recognize the printer and that it would just then work, but that didn't happen, so they walked me through downloading drivers.Īnyhow, I'm stuck and feeling frustrated. Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit) Hello, I managed to get me a HP Deskjet F4280 All-in-One device recently, but there was no software CD included.
I was on another site, and they gave me directions re checking the printer spooler, and it seemed fine. However, it does photocopy (when I put a page under the scanner, it prints a copy of the page). I downloaded Windows Mats_run printing program, and it can't find a problem and says the printer is ready to print. The printer appears to be ready to go, and is online, but for some reason, I can't get it to print.not even a test page. I recently re-hooked up an HP F4280 All-in-One Printer, but because I couldn't find the disk, I downloaded from the HP website. I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows Vista.
