My 1217 MFP started giving me trouble several weeks ago. When I pressed PRINT nothing happened.
When all this started I could coax the printer by running a copy through the machine. But now the printer is wise to the trick, and I can't it to print from WORD. I can go to the DEVICES AND PRINTERS to see the status - like this:
In going to START >DEVICES AND PRINTERS > then clicking on HP1217 which brings up a diagnose box. At first from looking at the box everything seems ok, then the status box goes from PRINTING to ERROR - PRINTING.
There must be an solution to this!
