says no printer

[Konglow]

Says no printer installed or it verifies that the there is power but it's not plugged into computer. Three days I checked cables and cured nothing. Yet I just made a purchase on line and wanted a printed receipt. I knew it wasn't working but hit print anyway. Right away it prints a page of the receipt. What the heck is going on?

Welcome to Windows Vista, Working as intended. Seriously, you gave as nothing to go on.

As rclarke states, we would need the Computer make and model as well as that of the printer to even begin to fathom a decent reply. All we can gather is you have Windows Vista based on the location of the post. Also, how do you have the printer connected, wired via USB, wireless, Bluetooth....? Does the printer print a test page from Windows or a Demo page from the printer? What does Device Manager say? Which driver did you use when you installed it initially? When did it last work and what has changed since then?
