The SPD application begins diagnosing your printer.

After diagnosing the printer, any print driver issues are listed on the detected issues screen. The question "Do you want to fix the issue?" is under the list of detected issues. Selecting Yes resolves the issue automatically.

Examples of issues include:

• Not set as default printer
• Printer driver is offline
• There is a pending job

A screen like the image below displays. Elements that may be present on the detected issues screen include:

• The issues for the printer device are listed, along with a Check again button.
• If there is a video available to help resolve the issue, a Video link is shown. When the link is clicked, the video plays.
• If a part needs to be ordered to resolve the issue, an Order web link is shown. When the link is clicked, the Order Supplies website opens.
• If Check again is clicked after a user resolves the issue, the Resolved check box is checked.

When the SPD application finishes the diagnostics, screens like those below will display. Elements that may be present on the diagnostics completed screen include:

• This screen is shown if all issues are fixed. A Print Test Page link displays.
• If Print Test Page is clicked, a test page prints.
• If View details of your printer is clicked, the RDS web page opens.
• If the connected printer does not support RDS, View details of your printer will not display.
• When a user clicks the Finish button, SPD uploads the results of the fix to the web server.

If the diagnostic check results in issues that SPD is unable to fix, then the diagnostics completed screen displays the results as Not resolved.
