We’ve all had it happen. For whatever reason your printer has stopped working. But why now? You have an important report to get out ASAP. Well, before you take the printer to get fixed, there’s some basic printer troubleshooting you can do to speed you along. The simplest and often times best solution is a printer reboot. If after this you still need help, please schedule an appointment here.
Here are the steps:
1. Turn off Printer
2. Unplug ALL cords from back
3. Leave printer unplugged for 1 minute
4. Reboot the PC while the printer is unplugged
5. When the computer is back up, re-attach all the printer cords
6. Plugin printer
7. Turn on printer Look for indicator lights and “ready” or “OK” Is everything green/good to go? Do you see errors on the screen? Test print something
8. If these simple steps fail, then you may be experiencing driver conflicts or other issues with the computer such as junkware (internet browser issues, Windows updates, etc)
