Default Error printing

I have connected a canon bubblejet BJC-1000 to my packard bell pc with
windows XP and set it as a default printer. it used to work woth my other
computer.
the pc recognizes the printer.
it won't print any print test pages, e-mails, word docs or pdf files.
after a long time loading the printer status says: error printing.
I consulted the troubleshooter under Help but none of the suggestions worked.
the command prompt doesnt work. neither does restarting or shutting down.
I plugged it out and with the next print job the printer status says: out of
paper.
The port is LTP1 but I also tried all the other ports or even all at the
same time.
Now it's set back to only LTP1.
Although the printer has no on/off light, I am quite certain the printer is
on.
Any suggestions?

There should be a purple button on the top of the printer. If you hold
the purple button down for at least 2 seconds and then release it, the
printer should reset and do a print head clean operation.

Then press the purple button twice. This should cause the printer to
print a nozzle check pattern.

If you successfully printed a nozzle check pattern, then the problem
probably is not with the printer itself (even though this is a very old
printer).

You said that you "connected" the printer to your computer. Did you
"install" it? Did you use the correct Windows XP printer driver?

Uninstall and then re-install the printer following the directions he

You can get the current XP driver at:
http://alpha02u.c-wss.com/inc/ApplSe...nu=DR&TRF=MAIN
or http://tinyurl.com/37xof7

Are you positive the printer cable is OK? Have you confirmed that by
using it on another computer/printer or using a different cable?

Open Device Manager by right-clicking on My Computer and clicking on
Properties. Then click the "Hardware" tab and then "Device Manager."
Double-click Ports (COM & LPT), then double click Canon BJ ECP Printer
Port or Canon BJ Printer Port. The device status should read "This
device is working properly". If not, post back with the info.
