Printer problems
This section lists some of the most common printer problems.
The printer will not print.
Check that the printer is connected to a working power outlet,
turned on and ready (on line).
Check that the printer has plenty of paper. Some printers will not
start printing when there are just two or three sheets of paper left in
the tray.
Make sure the printer cable is firmly attached to the computer and
the printer.
Run the printer’s self-test to check for any problem with the printer
itself.
Make sure you installed the proper printer drivers as shown in the
instructions that came with the printer.
You may have connected the printer while the computer is on.
Disable Sleep mode, turn off the computer, and turn off the printer.
Turn the printer back on, make sure it is online, and then turn the
computer back on.
Try printing another file. For example, you could create and
attempt to print a short test file using Notepad. If a Notepad file
prints correctly, the problem may be in your original file.
