If you are unable to print make sure the product is set as your default printing device:

•Windows Vista: On the Windows taskbar, click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Printers.

•Windows XP: On the Windows taskbar, click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Printers and Faxes.

Make sure that your product has a check mark in the circle next to it. If your product is not selected as the default printer, right-click the printer icon and choose “Set as default printer” from the menu.
