“Why won’t my printer just print what I want?”

But here’s the good news: the issue might not be your printer—it might just be the settings. Specifically, your printer might be media-driven, and understanding what that means can save you a lot of headaches.

Setting up a new printer can feel like a challenge. You’re excited to start using it, but then you encounter a bunch of instructions, software downloads, and connection hiccups. It’s frustrating to think that something so necessary has to be so tough.
