    Just typed up something for college. Went to print. Nothing printed out. Only some feint black lines. Thought, damn it, must be out of black ink. Checked. I'm not.

    Hooked up my second printer. Which is also fine on black ink and works alright. Same weird black lines. Thought the problem may be with the word processing program I was using. I pasted all the text into a text file. Same thing printing again.

    any ideas?

    Are these printers with USB connections?

    One is usb. The other is a much older one I use in case of emergencies. Such as this :rolleyes:

    Both have the exact same problem. I brought the file downstairs, with one of the printers to another computer.. Same deal. Tried printing off a picture. Nothing. Just some very feint lines. If it were only happening to one printer I'd have basically just written it off to a break. But both of them? at the exact same time? Over two PCs?

    I'm stumped.

    Strange that there all not working, have you tried cleaning the printer heads, if a printers not used for a while they get a bit clogged, cleaning instructions are normally on the printer, press a few buttons etc

    yup i've ran through all that.

    If two printers are both experiencing exactly the same problem though it couldnt be a hardware issue. They're both literally printing the exact same thing. Only a few minutes ago they were both working fine.

    I have a feeling there's something gone drastically wrong with my copy of microsoft works.

    Although that wouldnt explain not being able to print images or text documents. Including, now, the computer downstairs.

    Dare I say I might have to result to...writing..by...hand...? no! it can not be! I doubt I even still possess the ability.
