Do you mean that you want to create a quick reference guide for common printer problems?

If that is what you are looking for then I may be able to help as I see printer problems that I feel should have been caught by helpdesk personnel on a regular basis.

Is your printer turned on?

Is there paper in the printer?

Are any warning lights blinking?

Yes Silver that is exactly what I am trying to do. The IS team is trying to eliminate some of the calls going to desktop support, by having help desk resolve some of the issues themselves.
