Have you tried a different document or a print from a different application?

Use the PCL, although windows XP should have the driver avaliable.

think i sorted it.
dunno what pcl even is, but i changed the driver.

think the main problem was that i hadn't set it to work online

it's not recognising any paper in the tray, but that's a different issue.

cheers for help.
