People are hankering for the solutions to their printer problem. Very often they cry out "I can't print!" It's surely not their lack of literacy on working with printer. There are some serious problems associated with this output device of your PC. While we'll walk you through several such problems, you can definitely contact with a computer Repaircompany for further guidance. Some potential printer problems include:

Power Failure

The first and foremost thing you should consider is whether your printer is on. This specially occurs during the start of the day. You (or may be someone in office) may have shut it down after the completion of work on the previous day.

Printer Status

Make sure that the printer status light is ok. If there is sign of flashing light or status light shows an error, your printer has gotten some problem. Check the user manual that gives you a diagnosis process for alerts.

Paper Trays

If your printer is not working it might be due to lack of paper. Check out whether the paper tray is empty. If so, refill it. But you must know one thing that you shouldn't require to refill it with as much paper as the device can hold, but with a bit less number, thus making the provision for an empty space. If your tray is not empty, check for a misfeed. Pull out any piece of paper that may be the root cause of the problem. Use tweezers for the process.

Toner Cartridges

Empty toner cartridges may results to your printer problem. So, check out whether they are empty or low. You can get indication of low cartridges from the printer itself. Replace it with a new one and hopefully it will start working. Some laser toner cartridges that contain ejected toner reservoir make your work easy. There is a trap that can be emptied.

Toner Drum

If you have a laser printer then you need to replace the toner drum once a year or periodically. However it depends on the volume of printing the device is subjected to. If your toner drum starts emptying the prints-out would be faded. Like cartridges, printer's error light will show you an indication of the problem.

PC Connection

After done with all the physical parts of the printer, check out if it is connected to your PC or not. To make sure that the printer is connected properly, follow the USB cable from the back of the printer to the back of the computer.

Network Connection

Problem with your printer gets a bit complicated if it's network-based printer that means everyone in your office is using it. In this case you can do one thing. Check for whether your computer is connected to the network. Else you are having problem either with print server, or hub or cable.

Printer Drivers

There are also few cases where you find your printer working but somehow PC and printer are not working together. This indicates a printer driver problem. Printer driver is software that builds the link between a computer and a printer. It might not work with a newly installed program. To overcome this problem, download a driver from the printer maker's website. Remove the old driver and install the new one.
