Do as the printer support technician would perform
Put your thinking hat on for you need to follow steps which start from the downright basic and stretch up to something highly tedious. Firstly, to start with most printers become dysfunctional due to something as simple as a faulty cable. With a cable comprising of a 36-pin Getronics connector on the end connected to the printer and a 25-pin D-type connector coupled to the parallel port of your computer, better known as a printer port or LPT port, the reasons for a cable to function in a contrary manner are aplenty. All of such 25 conductors on the printer cable is quintessential to the proper operation of a printer. So, any bad conductor on the cable can result a number of strange printing issues.
Secondly, a printer driver installed while setting up a printer tells your parallel port how to manage the data being sent to the printer. Different brands of printers require specific software to become operational. And in this case any incorrect or defective printer driver might easily lead to all sort of strange gibberish getting printed on a page.
Printing is the basic requirement every home user requests for. Customers have always found it very difficult to setup printer with their desktop or notebook because on the complexity shown on most of the product manuals which contain loads of information. With the introduction of various connection types, updated technologies and value added features had let to complex setup process and configuration for end user. The printer support provides a total technological coverage on basic setup of the printer for the customer’s PC.

In order to set up your brand new printer support, you’ll need a printer that’s connected to the system (of course!) and, in most cases, the installation CDs that came along with it. These installation CDs will have specific setup information and driver files for your printer.
Thirdly, the best insurance to acquire a printer up and running is to go on to the Internet and download the latest printer drivers for your operating system and printer support. While, installing a printer driver, one would require care all settings are correct for the individual printer. A case where independent of the RAM settings other parameters such as the source tray for the paper, paper size and orientation, timeout settings and print resolution must be considered.
Lastly, when you have checked the cable, the printer driver, the parallel port settings, the integrity of the parallel port, and the possibility of resource conflicts, the one thing to be checked will be the printer itself. To necessarily suggest lots of things can go wrong with a printer and in case if you have eliminated all other possibilities and have reason to believe that the printer is the culprit, consult the manual which came along with your printer for user-serviceable items. You may never know you might end up finding the elusive answer you had been scouting for all this time. And if still the answer comes to naught even with this ultimate step maybe to expect time you got talking to a premier tech support.
