Printing and Spell check.

Question submitted by Donald on Tuesday, September 16, 2020 at 00:41:09 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question: I have 3 years support on my purchase contract of28 Mat 2011. Personal desktop R210501N with Windows Home Edition. The spell program checks almost every word and always advises word unkown???:. The printer command now seldom activates the printer. Printer connestions good. ???

Answer: Have you checked for spyware? I recommend a program called Spybot - Search and Destroy. It's a free download at download.com and it helps clean up many spyware and virus issues. Spyware and viruses are the number one cause of strange computer behavior. Printer issues can be caused by all sorts of things. Things I commonly check...

Are there old print jobs in the printer queue? Is the cable between the printer and the cpu a good cable? Does it print at all and under what circumstances? Is your hard drive almost full? Do you have the latest print driver updates from the manufacturer?

I had a printer last month that would only print once in a while and it turned out it was a defect in the XP printer driver. I downloaded a new driver and it started working right away.

Does the printer make any strange new noises?

The spellcheck problem could be caused by a corrupt file in your word processing software. I would try running a repair of the software. You will need to insert the original CD and run the repair option when it comes up. Otherwise you could download OpenOffice.org and have a working spellchecker right away.

Good Luck

Question: i suspect that the computer does not print and makes errors due to error in date and time

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: What would lead you to that conclusion. Date and time don't usually influence printing. If you are having date and time issues you should check your settings for your time zone and the automatic time check. For printing I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the printer drivers.

Also, check the website of the printer manufacturer to see if they have an updated driver from the one you originally installed. Bad printer drivers usually cause printing errors not the system date and time.

Answer: If you are using a PC you go into the Control Panel and choose Add/Remove Programs and remove the printer drivers from the list.

If it is a Mac you delete the printer from the Printer Manager that is located in your Applications folder under Utilities (unless it's Tiger and then you
