I have just finished drafting a document on MS Word. I want to print this document. I gave the command to print through Word, but it prompted an error which said, “We couldn’t print because there doesn’t seem to be a printer installed.” But I have a printer which is connected to my computer.
It seems you have enabled the ‘Bidirectional support’ for your printer.
1. Locate your printer from all the devices and printers mentioned in the Control Panel.
2. Right-click on your printer.
3. Select ‘Properties.’
4. Under the ‘Ports’ tab, disable ‘Bidirectional support’ for your computer.
Also, you can reinstall all the printer driver. Make sure the printer is working fine, and the drivers are up to date. Remove all the corrupted drivers from your computer
If you need to print something in Microsoft Office Word and that error appeared, make sure your printer is connected to your computer. If you verify that the printer is connected to your machine, make sure the printer is turned on. Check the LED power indicator if it is activated. Also, check if you can see your printer in Microsoft Office Word.
If the printer is installed properly on your computer and it is working, the word processor or Microsoft Office Word can find it in the print section. Your printer should appear on the list of printers when printing in Microsoft Office Word. If your printer doesn’t appear, try transferring the USB cable to another USB port and try again.
If this doesn’t work, try using a cable from another printer that you know is working then see if it works. If the printer still doesn’t work even on a tested cable, you probably need to bring it to a service center for proper servicing. If the printer works on the new cable, you need to buy a new USB cable for your printer.
