I can't get my printer/copier/fax/scanner to do anything. It is all hooked up right and I don't know what else to do. Does anyone have any suggestions??

For your all-in-one printer, you should really install the software and drivers that came with it before operating the printer. The install will guide you through connecting it to your PC correctly and when to turn it on to initiate the configuration for your computer.
Before you do that, make sure you are positive your printer is hooked up correctly.
If you have done all that I've said above, then it's possible that either your cable between the printer and the PC is bad, or your printer is bad.

Not sufficient information to answer or suggest any solution.
Tell me the followings -
1. Is it powering up?
2. Can you make copies without connecting to a computer?
3. If not what it says? what it displays in the console?
4. If it is copying then connect it to computer. Is your computer able to see the equipment?
5. If yes then what error message it displays if you fire a test print ?
6. What make and model do you own.
Mail me all the information to swapan42k@yahoo.com
I will surely suggest you how to find out solution.

Install drivers, special software, check the cables, uninstall everything, reinstall it with Admin rights on XP, reinstall XP.. Ugh, though I'm a helpdesk agent the only proper answer is: buy a Mac. Connect your printer to it. Bada bing, bada boom.

You may need to install drivers for your printer.
Go to the manufacturer's website and search for the model under their support section. They should have downloadable drivers that you can install on your computer.
Or, go to google and search for:
Brand + Model + operating system + drivers
example: HP Deskjet 840C Windows XP drivers
