week 11

This week in Computer hardware and software management we learned about printers and their software as well as how to troubleshoot them.  To begin troubleshooting your printer you should attempt to do a test print and to do that properly you should make sure to print directly from windows software avoiding any third party printing software you can do this by pressing the windows button and then clicking on the settings wheel and from there you click on the devices link and then you will press on printers and scanners.  From there you select your printer and open up the link and use the test print function as it will print a page directly from your windows 10 printer software.  There are also many printers that have software available on their website to automatically troubleshoot your printer or they will sometimes come with an install disc for their troubleshooting software.
