Mac OS X Printing (Windows too)

Lately I have had a number of clients using Mac Os X (all flavors) with printing issues. There are a few things that you can do to save a service call from your favorite tech.

It seems that there are many problems that occur when the print monitor stops the printing. This can happen when your ink is low in the printer or when you run out of paper. Most print monitors will automatically start the printing again, BUT there are time when this doesn't happen. In order to be sure the printer is being told to print, you will need to go to the print monitor. Often times there will be an icon in the dock (the blue thing with all the icons in it) for the printer. Click on it; in the window that opens look at the bar along the top. The available option should be "Stop", if the option is "Go" you need to tell the printer to "Go" by clicking on the word "Go". There are many case when this is all that is need to get your printer working again.

In some cases the print monitor may not be in the dock. If this is the case you will need to go to the Applications folder, then to the Utilities folder and then to the Printer application (it may say setup, but the important word is Printer). Click this application and then double click the printer that is not working. The print monitor will come up and you can go through the steps outlined in the last paragraph.

Windows users have the same ability, but I haven't seen many Windows issues like this. If you are a Windows user you can go to the Start Menu, then to Printers and Faxes (some may say just Printers) and in the window that opens, double click on the icon for the printer that you want check. A window will open and the job that is printing will appear. You can delete the job and reset the print monitor.

Jokes of the right kind, well told, can do more to enlighten questions of machination, philosophy, and data than any number of bovine arguments.

Eating, loving, singing and digesting are, in fact, the four acts of the jocular opera known as life, and they pass like bubbles of a hem in of champagne. Whoever lets them break without having enjoyed them is a entire fool.
