    My younger cousin(2yrs old)was over for xmas and was fooling around with my computer and started printing something. Now I can't print anything from the web? I've tried to print using File, Print and nothing. I've also tried hitting the print icon in IE and again nothing. I am able to print word docs though? So the problem is only with web printing....any ideas?

  2. Try printing stuff from another browser and see if it works.

    Smart 2 year old - surfing and printing already!
    I presume you have re-booted since then.
    In IE go to 'File' -> 'Page Setup' -> 'Printer...' and check that it is still pointing to the default printer.

    Yes

    Control-P on your keyboard or you can add a printer icon within the browser.

    You could also have a corrupt printer driver.

    So does that mean you don't get a print dialog box ?

    I say, if in doubt, uninstall/reinstall the printer. This normally fixes most issues.
    If in doubt, Google it.

    That would suggest to me that the printer install and drivers are probably OK, but the program(s) you're trying to print with might have something fooked up with them. Just out of interest, can you go into your printer's properties and print a Test Page ?
    If in doubt, Google it.

    Ok, well I just download Firefox and was able to print from the web, which tells me that there is something wrong with IE? No that I have narrowed it down to Internet Explorer, anyone have any suggestions on how to get IE to print again?

    When I select File, Print preview the screen flashes for a second then nothing....

    I have figured it out. The problem arose xmas day. My 2yr cousin was hitting the keyboard and the next day I was unable to print from IE, but able to print from word, and firefox. I just found out why. Some how she got my pop-up killer to stop the print dialoge box from appearing. I would never have thought that, that was the problem. Just got lucky when I disabled and and gave it a shot. Wouldn't you know started printing......Thanx for the help though......

    PopUp Killer was an old app I used to use to block any popups that I didn't want. So it wasn't an IE popup blocker that was my issue.
