Printer – Wont Print

1st step.  Make sure your printing the correct printer, check the printer name your using.

2nd Step. Delete all the Queue list on the printer

To remove the queue list go to “Printer ” on menu then go to “Cancel All Documents

If still cant print make sure your printer is turn on and Ensure the USB cable is plugged in snugly at both ends, and that the power cable is plugged into the wall. You never know when someone unplugged it to charge their phone without telling you.

Ensure You Have the Right Printer

Again, this may seem basic, but are you sure you’ve directed the document to the correct printer? If you’ve used your computer with multiple printers—say, if you go back and forth between your home and office, or if you just got a new printer at home—Windows may be trying to send documents to the wrong printer.

Try printing the document again, and be sure to choose File > Print from the menu rather than using a shortcut. Then, pay close attention to the options that appear—if the drop-down menu shows a different printer than the one you want, click it to select the correct printer before continuing. 

If you are using a network printer:

  • Check your network connection as well as your network devices like your router and modem.
  • View the network connection status of your printer and see if your printer is properly connected to the network.
  • Reconnect or replace your network cable when necessary if your printer is using wired connection.
  • For wireless printer, try reconnecting your printer to your home or work network.
