Make sure your printer is connected and the default is set correctly. Print a test print from the Control Panel (Windows)

In Lightroom, on the bottom left of the Print Module is "Page Set Up". Open this and check that the printer showing is the default printer. The Set up box on mine will indicate Status - Ready.

On the Set up panel, click on Properties and check to ensure the correct paper size and paper source are both correct.

Click on OK to close the dialogue.

Click on OK to close the set up dialogue.

Back in the Print Module, click on Single Image/Contact Sheet

Ensure the image on screen is how you want to print

On the Print Job panel, make sure it reads "Print to: Printer" (If it reads "Print to Jpeg file", the print button will be greyed out)

Press the Print Button

If you select "Printer" then the buttons on the bottom should change to "Print" and "Printer...".

I am assuming you know that your printer is properly installed and working.

When you say "Not lit up" - when you mouse over it nothing happens? If you click on it nothing happens?

Did you go into page setup on the left and select the necessary options?

What operating system and type of printer?
