There are number of common issues that you may come up against when using or installing a network printer.
When installing a network printer, the most common error you may come across is the "access denied" error. If you are trying to install a network printer on your computer and you are seeing this error it could be because you don't have administrator privileges on the computer, or you don't have permission on the network to use the printer.
When you are installing the printer, another problem you may face is your computer not finding the printer that you want to connect to. To solve this problem, in the window that shows the printers that have been discovered, you need to click on the option that say "the printer I want isn't listed" or words to that effect. You will then need to select how you would like to find the printer you are looking for, and then follow the steps in wizard, manually adding the information as you go.
If you are unable to make changes to the printer properties it will most likely be because you do not have administrative permissions. You can try logging in as an administrator and seeing if that works.
If you are having problems printing to a network printer you should ensure that you are connected to the network that the printer is on, check the status of the printer in the print queue, or go to the printer and check that it is powered on, with a network connection. If the printer is attached to another computer and shared on the network, ensure that the computer is turned on with a network connection.
Like always, these are just basic problems and solutions, and if there any others that you can think of, feel free to drop them in the comments box.
