    How about a clue as to the computer your using and the printer type 
and name, how the printer is attached to the computer will help.

    As for printing I have had more trouble getting my wifes printer to 
work in Windows. My Made in China Laser Printer works just great with 
Ubuntu. No Problems of any sort.
