Why can't I add a printer?

Why cant i add my printer to ms word 2010?

  • i am using a new laptop and after installing my printer with a wired conection i tried to add it to word so i can print documents but before i am able to search for a printer to add on the print menu it displays the message "the active directory domain services is currently unavailable" and gives no other explanation

  • Answer:

    Check it and see if it is setup as default for fax. If so needs to be changed to printer.

I've been using printers for years and I don't know what you are talking about. I install my printer on my computer and then the printer works for every site and program with a printing option. I have never "added a printer" to Word

If it's an all-in-one unit, it should have entries for both printer and fax. Try restarting the machine and see if the service is started the next time. Good luck.

Look for your printer model icon, right click it and make it your default printer
