Printers: Can’t live with them, can’t nuke them. You could always toss a misbehaving inkjet or laser out the window, but where would that leave you? Truth be told, we need our printers, despite their maddening quirks. Here’s a saner idea: Take a deep breath, channel your inner tech support rep, and repair that which has failed you. (Cue sitar.)

  1. Printing is too slow.
  2. Ink and/or toner costs too much.
  3. Windows is sending print jobs to the wrong printer.
  4. My prints are too light, too spotty, or have horizontal lines.
  5. My printer says my ink cartridge is empty. I think it’s lying.
  6. My wireless printer is too slow.
  7. I use remanufactured or refilled ink cartridges, and my prints look awful.
  8. I don’t know how to fit more text on one page. How do I do it?
