Dear Helpers,
I tried to print on my CD printer, but get the following message: Unable to access printer driver. Try removing and reinstalling this printer driver. After I press OK on that box I get another box with the following message: The printer is currently unavailable. The printer and/or server my be offline. If this is not the case, it may be necessary to reinstall the printer.
I've reinstalled the CD printer as a copy, but this doesn't solve the problem. My HP printer and labeller work - they are connected to USB plugs.
Can someone help me please.
No. It wouldn't print. The message was: The test page failed to print.
What's next?
I opened the printer setup in Corel Draw 11 and there was a printer line that I've never seen before. This could be the culprit. It is called: Device Independent Postscript File.
Is this something I should try to delete in order to solve my problem?
No that is OK that is to create a post script file for output to a post script printer!
I would delete both of the Cd printers you have in control pannel and reinstall!
If you wanted to and had another printer cable to hook-up and try it you could, could possibly be a bad printer cable.
In the printer control panel if you double click on the printer is there anything showing up in the box?
If you cannot print a test page from the printer itself it could be a hardware problem or the printer drivers need to be reinstalled.
You should try reinstalling the latest drivers for your printer.
If you checked the port and its using LPT 1 it should work, unless the cable is damaged!
Does the printer have the option of using a USB or Network cable?
Try installing the printer on another computer to see if that works.
Normally when I have problems with my printers I do a clean install of the software & drivers.
When I double click on the CD printer, I get an empty box, i.e. no documents printing.
I did install an identical CD printer (Copy 1) and selected that one, but I got the same error message. If all else fails, I'll uninstall the remaining CD Printer and reinstall.
I'll try a new cable too. Nothing has been moved or touched since the last time I printed a CD label. Strange. This error just came right out of the blue.
