Most Common Printer Problems



The printer will not print

This tends to happen usually due to user error unless there is some larger underlying issue with your printer. Check to make sure your printer is still connected to your device, either through a USB port or the Internet connection. If you are using a new printer, make sure the driver software has been installed. There is a chance the driver software has been corrupted

Lots of paper jams

Though this is not nearly as big of a problem as it was with printers a decade or two ago, paper jams are most commonly caused by misalignment. Check that the paper is properly aligned when you insert it and that the tray is not overloaded.

Running out of ink

When is it time to replace your ink cartridge  Sometimes, your printer may say it is running out while it still continues printing; ink warnings vary widely in regards to accuracy and are not always perfect. When printer output starts slowing down, that is when you know it is almost time for an ink replacement.

Photos print poorly

If you are not satisfied with how your printed photos appear, be sure to check that you are using the right type of paper. Also, change your software settings for that specific type of photo paper.
