Hello,
I have had Windows XP and a HP PCS 1400 series printer for several yrs.Now, cannot print anything from computer. Have both Hotmail and Outlook Exp.I'm computer illiterate, but do go into various programs/segments of system. need help
 
Any errors when you try to print? Printer cable plugged into the PC? Maybe try a new cable. Error messages on the printer? Printer showing up in device manager and in Printers and Faxes? Can you print a test page to the printer (right-click on the printer, go to Properties, print test page).
