Or it could be that my printer's just died. I don't know.
I got this laptop a couple of weeks ago now and installed my Epson C42 with no problems, started printing right away. Didn't need to install any new drivers or anything.
This morning I started printing out what I'd written of my NaNo so far, all thirty-some pages of it, and my printer stopped half way through. I went into printer settings and the ink level monitors were greyscaled, and it wouldn't let me print anything else, check ink levels, do a print head check, nothing.
I thought it was weird because there was no warning when I started printing; it was just when I got half way through the job that it decided, "No, not gonna work."
So. I uninstalled the printer and reinstalled. Nothing. Every time I try to print a page it looks like it's going okay, then a red x appears at the bottom of my MS Word screen. I go into printer settings and my document is in the queue under 'printing'...but nothing is printing.
I don't know if this is a Vista problem, but it doesn't seem to be, so it's probably the printer at fault.
HALP!
