How to Fix Your Printer Driver Problems

When you use a printer to print a report or pieces of document, actually it is the printer driver instead of this device's card box that really works to translate the Windows commands into the ones that your printer is able to understand and then carry out this printing work. So you should fix your printer driver problems as soon as possible, for they would affect your printing work severely. Here I will list some typical symptoms of printer driver problems:

1. Meaningless characters appear on the printout paper.

2. The printout is covered in solid black boxes.

3. The last character on a line is missing.

4. Pinter crashes during printing.

5. Grid lines are missing when printing a format.

Once your printer experiences one or more of the failures above, don't worry, you can fix them easily referring to the tips below:

If there is a driver that previously works properly but now has a small problem, maybe you need to update your printer driver. And you can also fix most driver problems by this method. To update the driver, you can go to the Windows Update website or the printer manufacturer's website and search whether there is any updated driver, if there is, download it.

If you can not find an updated driver for your printer, you also can think of downloading another compatible one. However, all these operations may seem a pain in your neck, well then try some driver tools to help scan all your devices, locate and install the updated drivers automatically just with a few clicks.
