The printers connected to the computer quite often refuse to work. The causes of breakages can be mechanical character — when some detail or program fails — when malfunctions arise because of mistakes ON. Of course, without being the professional master, precisely to define that occurred, you will hardly be able. But the majority of problems can be fixed own hands. Therefore if at you does not print the printer and what to do you do not know, try to use the most widespread methods of debugging. And first of all, check correctness of connection of the printer to the computer and to the power supply network, there can be you just forgot to put a fork in the socket or did not press the inclusion button on the printer. If it precisely works and the computer displays it, then begin to check other versions.
The computer sees the printer, but does not print
Quite often the situation when the printer, it seems, and works meets, but does not print. Try to act as follows:
- check existence of a toner — perhaps, it ended or dried;
- perhaps, at the cartridge nozzles through which paint arrives got littered, try to print the page of diagnostics if it is printed, and other documents will not, then or replace the cartridge with new or carry old in a workshop for cleaning;
- the reason can be in errors of combination with the computer, even if the car sees the printer, it can not accept it therefore check whether time of availability of the printer and all other settings in the control panel is correctly set;
- not superfluous will be to glance in a tray with paper — perhaps, in it it is banal there are no sheets or they hesitated, and can be the feeder of paper came to malfunction;
- check memory size on disk C – if it is not enough, then the device will not print.
The printer does not print after replacement of the cartridge
Very often owners of printers face such problem: the old cartridge ended, it was changed, but the printer the printer ceased to work after that. The reasons can be three:
- palmed off on you not the compatible to model of the printer or broken cartridge, it needs to be replaced once again;
- if the cartridge new, then perhaps from it forgot to remove a protective film which preserves a toner against a prosypaniye and drying;
- you incorrectly installed the cartridge, try to do it once again;
- the reinsertion of the printer and installation of new drivers is necessary — some models of the printer have automatic blocking which works after there is a replacement of the cartridge, a reinsertion it is possible to make in any service workshop.
Why the printer does not print, and saves the file?
If the device refuses to print, and strives to keep the document or the picture, then it means that settings got off. You need to open "control panel", to choose the line "equipment", and then "devices and printers". You find an icon of your device, you click with the right button of a mouse, you open a line "ports" and you remove the sign from the "press in the file" point. Further you note usb port of connection and you save new settings.
Does not print the network printer
One more widespread problem are malfunctions with the printer of network type. In this case it is possible to make the following:
- check settings of network and its availability;
- check printer settings, perhaps it has no connection to network;
- perhaps, on the server there is not enough place for the press, then big documents can be printed in stages — break them into several parts and set the press on each of them separately.
