Problem

Solutions: On a dot-matrix printer when you press the Print Screen key, the printer immediately prints what was on the screen. With a laser printer pressing Print Screen once usually does not send enough information to the printer to fill the buffer and execute the print job. When you do a print screen on an HP laser printer, the form feed light comes on telling you there is information in the printer buffer. To get the print job to come out you must press the on-line button to take the printer off-line, then press the form feed button to send the job out, then press the on-line button again to set your printer back to the ready mode. Another way to get a print screen to print out on a laser printer is to press the Print Screen key several times to send several copies of your screen to the printer. This will usually fill the printer buffer so that the printer will eject the page by itself. A third way to eject the print screen is to type Alt-12 (using the number keypad) at the end of the page. Doing this will send a form feed to the printer.
