[SOLVED] Im in a pickle with this OKI printer

**stressfreesoul** · 08-28-2008, 10:46 AM

Im a bit stuck. I installed it (OKI C5850), plugged it in but nothing. I even tried getting it connected via the network, no joy. Im really stuck on this and its time sensitive too, as we need to get the community newsletter out before monday, or the commitee head will get sacked by the council.
So to recap...
I installed the drivers,
I plugged it in,
I attatched it via USB,
I made sure this was the printer set as default,
I clicked print document,

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Nevermind... Looks like I forgot to update one of the machines in the community centre and it just happened to be the machine I was trying to print out with...DUUUURRRR
Installed it on another, that was recently wiped and OS installed and it works a treat.
