  1. Printer not working, help please


    I cannot get my printer to work.

    Have tried all the things they recommend switching off and switching off Wi-fi. Taking off the printer and re installing.

    When I asked to print I have printer error.

    Have tried various things but still no luck.

    Thanks

    :)
