The machine does not print.	• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver Configurator and switch to the Printers tab in the
	Printers configuration window to look at the list of available machines. Make sure that your machine is displayed on the list. If
	not, open Add new printer wizard to set up your device.
	• Check if the machine is started. Open Printers configuration and select your machine from the printers list. Look at the
	description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains Stopped, press the Start button. Normal operation of the machine
	should be restored. The “stopped” status might be activated when some problems in printing occur.
	• Check if your application has special print options such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified in the command line parameter, then
	remove it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select “print” -> “Setup printer” and edit the command line parameter in the
	command item.
