    When the computer is turned off and then turned back on again, it re-prints everything from the day before. Tried un and re-installing print driver, running a windows error scan (recommended to me, but never got an windows error message), turning printer on and off, etc. Don't know how to fix this problem???

    Hi

    Will also need to know if this PC and printer are in a network enviroment?

    As this is a common issue and disabling bi-driectional printing can cure this, to disable to test goto Printers and Faxes (dunno your Windows version so guessing to location of printer folder) then Right click the printer in question and choose Properties > click the Ports tab and clear the check box to Enable bidirectional mode(support) and test.

    Could also try this free app I use to clear corrupted printer spoolers Stalled Printer Repair

    NOTE: It is a Dell Laser MFP 1600n printer and the operating system is Windows Vista. The computer works off of a network. There are 4 computers total that use the same printer. The 2 new computers are Windows Vista OS and the 2 others are older and are Windows XP. They are not having the problem, the newer one's are. The main computer is not one of the one's having the problem either.

    Halo - tried both these suggestions. Works for 1 time only, doesn't fix the problem though.
