How you clean your computer monitor depends on what kind of monitor you have. If it’s a CRT monitor that looks like an old TV, you can use alcohol or you can use a damp cloth with water. It really doesn’t matter because it’s a glass surface, so as long as you don’t scratch it, you should be good. When it comes to LCD monitors, don’t use alcohol. Use a damp sponge, a damp piece of cloth, and you can just wipe the dirt off. Alcohol actually damages the LCD screens. You can be a lot kinder on your peripherals - your mouse, your keyboard, your printer. They gather dust just like any surface does, so just use a cloth to dust the dirt away. If you’ve got a dirty keyboard, just use a damp cloth and scrub gently away at the dirt.

If your printer isn’t printing and it’s a new printer you’ve just taken it out of the box, first of all, look if it’s plugged into the computer. If the printer is plugged into the computer, the next thing to check is if it’s got power - is it plugged into a power outlet? If those things are plugged in, check if the software is loaded so that your computer can recognize the printer. If the printer still doesn’t work, call the manufacturer or take it back to the store and switch it out. If it’s an old printer, look to see if there’s still ink in there. If the lights are flashing and it’s telling you to replace the ink, that’s what you have to do. If there’s still ink left in the printer and it’s not printing, chances are it’s time to get a new printer.
