printer troubles

[mikkin59]

Can someone help?
Ive tried installing my all in one printer on to my lap top, Everything goes ok but when it comes to using it the scanner works, and the photo copier copies and prints but it wont print from the laptop!
I thought it might be a problem with the printer so went a bought another printer, installed it and its exactly the same, everything works except printing form the laptop.
I loaded both printers onto another PC and everything works with no problem.
Many thanks.

In Printers and Faxes, should be shown as default, online/ready.
Do some tests there in Preference/Maintenance sections.
It will be USB, so check Ports tab and make sure entry ticked next to printer there.
All else fails check device manager/show hidden devices in View.
R Click and remove any yellow entries, or unknown devices in USB section.
