Having troubles getting your Mac to print? Send something to the printer, it doesn’t print, you’ve restarted everything and you’re going nuts?! Well, try this simple solution to clear it up. I’ve used this routine at least a thousand times and it usually works like a charm.

First, open up your System Preferences and select Print & Fax under Hardware:

Select the printer on the left that is causing you the issues

Then hit the ‘-’ key and delete that printer from your list

Next, hit the ‘+’ key to re-add that printer

After that, you should be okay to print! If that did not work, I would suggest resetting the printing system on your Mac. You can do this by right-clicking (or control-click) in a blank area in the printer list. It will bring up a pop-up menu where you can select to reset the printing system. Hope this helps you out!
