Questions about Peripherals

Q. My Notebook is connected to a printer, but I am unable to print. What’s wrong?

A. If the printer is attached directly to your Notebook, make sure that the power cable is plugged into the wall and the printer is turned on. Check to make sure that the connector cable between your Notebook and the printer is properly attached. Also, ensure that you have the correct driver for your printer installed on your Notebook. If you are still having trouble printing, refer to the instructions that came with your specific printer model.

Q. How do I know how much battery power I have?

A. See the Battery Status icon in the System tray on the Windows taskbar.

Questions about Upgrades

Q. Can I download upgrades from the Compaq Internet site?

A. Yes. You can download Compaq upgrades, called Softpaqs, such as video drivers, diagnostics, and flash ROM. These can be accessed by double-clicking on the Compaq Help and Support icon.
