Can someone help me? My printer,a HP Deskjet 812c will print from a webpage,
but if I try to print while in Microsoft Works Word Processor or Notepad or
Wordpad all it does is spit out a n empty page Help!

I hope that you installed the drivers that came with the printer. If not, here is the HP website for the driver.

I am not too sure why it can only print web pages and not regular documents although it could do something with the printer language (PCL or Postscript).

Also, here are some things you can do if it still prints blank pages.

1. In the Printer properties, go to the Advanced Tab and select the option Print Directly to the Printer.
2. Unplug the printer from the PC. Hold down the paper feed button and turn on the power to the printer. The printer should then go through the self test process.
3. Click Start --> Control Panel --> System --> Advanced tab -->
in the Performance region, select Settings --> click Data Execute Tab -->
then choose the option which says something like Windows Programs and Services Only.

Good luck
