The reason why the printer can't print and the solution

The main function of the printer is to print, and if it can't print, it loses its meaning. When you need to print paper at work, if you encounter a problem that the printer can't print, it will bring a lot of trouble to the work. Xiaobian below finds the reason and solution for the printer to print.

First, the printer can not print the reason and solution

1. The printer is not online, causing the printer to fail to print.

On most printers, there is a small light next to the "OnLine" button that indicates the online status. Normally, the online indicator should be on. If the indicator is off or blinking, it is not connected properly. Check if the printer is powered on, the printer power switch is turned on, and the printer cable is properly connected.

2. The printer is in the paused printing state and cannot print.

To do this, in the Printers window, right-click the printer icon you are using, and then click to clear the checkmark √ before the Pause Printing option.

3, the disk free space is less than 10MB, the printer can not print

If the available hard disk space is less than 10MB (generally referred to as the C drive), more space must be freed to complete the print job. In this case, click the "Disk Cleanup" button, then in the "Files to delete" list box, select the type of file you want to delete and click the "OK" button.

4, the output generated by the program is incorrect, resulting in failure to print

To determine if the output generated by the program is correct, you can use the method of printing the document by other programs. We create a new Notepad file, type a few lines of text, and then in the "File" menu, click the "Print" command, if you can print the test document, the original program you used to print is problematic, please re-install the program.

5, the printer driver is damaged, the printer can not print

Sometimes the printer driver may be corrupted, causing an error that the document cannot be printed. We were able to reinstall the appropriate drivers before printing.

Second, how to deal with the printer offline

1, check the printer indicator

Make sure the printer is turned on and the printer is ready for standby.

HP LaserJet P1007, P1008 Laser Printer - The light is blinking.

2, clear the print task

A task that fails to print due to a failure of the print spooler processing will stay in the print job list, causing the print queue to clog and fail to print properly. The printer status is displayed as "offline", and the blocked print job needs to be cleared.

For details on how to clear the print job, please refer to:

Clear unfinished print jobs.

3, check the printer status

Connect the printer USB cable to your computer and turn on the printer.

Click Start → Printers and Faxes, and in the Printers and Faxes window, locate the printer's icon.

In the "Printers and Faxes" window, right-click on the printer icon you are using and select the "Use online printer" menu item.

Note: When you select the Use Online Printers menu item, the printer status changes from Offline to Ready.

In the Printers and Faxes window, the printer icon shows the correct status after the settings are completed.

Note: The correct printer status: "Document" is "0" and "Status" is "Ready".

At this point, the printer will be able to use it normally.

The reason why the printer can't print and the solution are as above. If you can't print the printer, you can see what the specific reason is and then solve it, so that the printer can be restored. Everyone should be able to use the printer reasonably and properly to make it easier to use it.
