Hello
In my office, we use the printer HP Laserjet Pro M401n. about 5 to 10 users, the printer is on a network and not connected to a PC. Is that several types of fonts do not print , only the border is printing. Replaced by a new cartridge. The question is always the same
>> .. Is that several types of fonts do not print , only the border is printing...
You will need to provide more information in order to wait for the appropriate advice.
For example:
- Is the problem limited to an application (such as Word) documents or multiple applications or applications?
- What do you mean by "types of fonts"?
- Do you mean different fonts (fonts strictly) for example Courier, Arial, Times New?
- Or do you mean for example regularly, different variants of Bold, Italic, BoldItalic?
- Or something else?
- Can you provide a scan of an example? Use the the "insert/edit image" button to insert an image in a post (this may take up to 48 hours to "approve" until it's visible to others).

I went to windows update and Dell in order to download drivers printer, but still cannot print. Why
MelindaHeadley_822,
Without knowing your Dell printer model, it is difficult to say how you installed the printer. Much needed installed in compatibility mode to work with Windows 7.
Firewalls and anti-virus programs will also block communications.

Reference Dell MFP printer not print.
I bought a new Dell anything anbout one laser printer low there. I installed it. I can see the icons on my two computers. But when I try to print, either directly but through cable or wireless (I have a router which works fine), I get the error is "no printer error paper or. In addition, I could not send a fax - machine was sound and sending it came out with the error. Before this printer I used HP printer which worked very well. I'm not able to get any help either Dell or the vendor, Staples. I would much appreciate if someone can help me.
Answer: * address email is removed from the privacy *
Thank you...
I have no way of knowing if you have purchased an extended warranty (or package), Staples and Dell. If you have registered your Dell product online, you should be able to determine the status of your warranty by entering the number of serial number of your printer here--> http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04
This article explains how to find your serial number--> http://www.dell.com/support/contents/us/en/04/article/Product-Support/Self-support-Knowledgebase/locate-service-tag/PrinterYou had two icons for your printer showing in devices and printers, probably because one is for the USB connection and the other for the wi - fi connection. Assuming you have an edition of Windows 7, follow these steps:
- Open devices and printers
- Right-click on your Dell printer icon, then select "printer properties".
- Select the "Ports" tab
One of the lines in the list of ports is highlighted and verified. Look at the value in the "ports" column (if necessary, click and drag over the low vertical line in the header line to make the column wider). If the value is an IP address (for example, 192.168.1.25), then this icon represents your wi - fi connection to the printer. If the value is something like USB_001 or DOT4_001, this icon represents the USB connection (cable) to the printer.
If your printer will work with two active connections (some printers will disable the wi - fi connection if the printer is connected via USB), then you must give these names separate icons so that you can choose whatever you intend to use at any time.
I suggest that you are troubleshooting with the printer connected by USB (cable). In this way, you don't have to worry about if you have the appropriate safety information to connect to your wi - fi network.
Regarding faxing or incoming calls "answering machine" printer, the printer must be connected to a regular telephone line to send faxes. If this is the same line that you normally use to make and receive calls, the portion of the printer fax is probably configured by default to answer all incoming calls. There should be a setting somewhere in the configuration of the printer system to change this to never answer or answer only after a number of rings (which gives you a chance to answer a call with your phone).

If the cable looks like one below, then you can certainly use it.
