Johnny Dangerously 7,562 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 The printer symbol has vanished from my screen. I can no longer copy stuff. I was messing around with my computer, don't really know what I have done to make it disappear. Is there any way I can get it back on display ?

fog 289 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 You can use "ctrl+p" to print. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebooler 4,509 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 That's good to know, thanks.I'd still like to get my printer back on screen.I think if you go into the main menu and click on All Programmes, you should find your printer listed there.Just right click on it and select the option to Create Shortcut, and this should put it back on your Desktop.I may be talking shite but it's worth a try..........................................................

Johnny Dangerously 7,562 Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Where has it dissappeared from ie desktop in a certain program?I honestly don't know what programme it has moved from. I'm just not good with computers mate or I could explain it to you. It used to sit at the top of my screen along with all the other symbols. I changed browser, wasn't happy with it, then changed back to my previous browser. It was while doing that, that the printer symbol vanished.
