My printer stopped printing and when I went to the printers and faxes, it

As this has nothing to do with .NET programming and you don't mention which
version of Windows you are using, only the most general advice can be
provided.
Try removing the printer through Device Manager, then reboot to allow
Windows to "rediscover it". Try uninstalling all printer software and
drivers, detach the printer then reboot. Reinstall from scratch.

As you don't mention what OS you are running, it's impossible to direct you
to a specific group for your question, but this .NET programming group isn't
it.

As you appear to be using a web interface, start here to find an appropriate
group:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx

Click the + beside your language. then scroll down to Windows. In Windows,
open the category for your version of Windows, then find a group there to
post in.
