just firing blanks !!

Laptop running XP home is wirelessly connected to Dlink router. PC using Win
ME wired into router and has printer attached.
However, if I try to print anything on the laptop all I get is a blank sheet
!
Wierd or what ?

Could be a driver problem. In addition to installing ME printer drivers
on the ME machine, did you also include XP drivers? Or did you install
XP printer drivers on the XP machine?

I am having the same problem and I have XP printer drivers installed. But I
did realize that when I change the font color to anything but black it
printed fine. It's aggravating but it works.

Hi Mike,

Are you able to connect your laptop to the DLink router using an
Ethernet cable and successfully print?

Only ME drivers on PC and XP on the laptop. But looking at Junebug's reply
it seems that more drivers won't help.
Got it printing with colours now though !
