Question: My printer jammed up & after I pulled the peper out it doesn't print anymore.  What do I do to fix this? My rpinter ran out of paper, I put too much in so it jammed.  I pulled the paper out & now it doesn't print.  I need to get this fixed NOW cuz this is actually my sis in laws that I'm using while they're in Mexico.  I will be leaving here Fri eve & need to have this remedied by then. What do I do?

Answer: First thing is first... did the paper rip? There may be a small peice that is caught inside causing a jam. Second, is there a feed button? Might try this to see if it's the printer itself (which my guess is that it is). Third, usually when you turn a printer off and then back on depending on brand, there will be a test print, if this works, you know it isn't the printer. Fourth, unplug it for about 10 minutes and then plug it back in... sometimes it is the most simple things..lol. Fifth, if this doesn't work, uninstall the printer from your computer, reinstall. Don't have the disk? Don't worry! You can almost ALWAYS go to the website of the manufacturer and download the drivers for your particular model (same thing a disk would do). Hopefully one of these things work, and be safe on your travels back to wherever you live on Friday!!
