General Printer troubleshooting

  • Reboot your computer. This generally solves most printing problems
  • Make sure the printer has power and is on-line.
    • Start - Settings - Printers, right-click the printer.
    • If there isn't a checkmark by "Set as Default", left-click that option to select it.
  • Turn it off for 10 seconds and on again to reinitialize any internal settings that may have gone astray.
  • Ensure that the tape that seals the cartridge ink port is removed prior to installing the cartridge.
  • Use the printer's own self-test,
    • Start - Settings - Printer
    • Right-click the printer name, left-click Properties
    • Click on the Print Test Page button.
  • The message "out of paper" is sometimes erroneously reported when there is plenty of paper, and can indicate a physical problem with the printer.
  • Try connecting the printer to a different computer and print a test page. If this printer works when connected to another computer, there may be a problem with the port on your PC. If this printer does not work when connected to another computer, there may be a physical problem with the printer.
