   On your computer, verify that the correct printer driver is installed. Consider deleting the existing driver and reinstalling the latest version from the Samsung website.

   If using a parallel port connection, access your computer's BIOS/CMOS settings and ensure the LPT Port Mode is set to SPP (Normal), ECP, or EPP.

4. 4

   Restart your computer and printer, then try printing again.
