Second option- gives all the web sites you go to and you can put a check mark in box so these cookies will not be cleaned, so you will not have to log in each time etc. When scan is done, button will say repair, again click and items will be repair, if first scan found a lot of stuff I often recommend you run second scan just for safety. Here you will find system tools, 5 large yellow/orange button, each opens different areas. Clean up & repair - disk cleaner, registry cleaner, shortcut fixer and uninstall manager (the first 1 work just like on you normal PC very simple, next three same as -click only simply steps Last one works like add/remove but better Optimize & improve: Startup manager-works like msconfig, you need to know what you want to start up when computer comes on. The next to work just like a task manager only more detailed, be sure you know what your doing if you choose to shut something down from here. Privacy&Security: Many great items here, tracks eraser, a file shredder in case you have a file that contains something no one should see. Opps you deleted a file, get it back from here, also encrypt and decrypt a file from here also Files & folders: Check your disk space from here check for updates as talked about in first item, Find duplicate file, empty files, manage large file Systems Tools: Again sort of like Task manger, stop a process from here Internet Explorer Assistant-manage you add-ons from here Windows standard tools-direct access to default functions from here Menu: Restore center Help -F1 Home page Settings About -X - Is to minimize X is to close ***** Side note every couple of months be sure and check for updated version of this software as each one contains newer repairs for errors each time, see item#1. Very important!.

First need to know if its XP or Vista? and what brand of printer we are dealing with here.

try re installing again- never hurts

I'm not sure what type of system you are on but you might try rebooting, checking connections, turning the printer off and on. Sometimes it takes a few tries when adding a new printer for a computer to find it but I'm not sure why. <fingers crossed> : )
