Is the technique included?
When you need to quickly print something, in a hurry, the user may not pay attention, whether the technique is included. Even a small extension of the wire will take off the printer, and work will stop.
- The main feature that will confirm that the technique is enabled, the appearance of the indicator on the panel. The printer also makes characteristic sounds similar to the buzz.
- Also, the hurry can lead to the fact that the not the printer will be selected. Windows can offer several options, and only one will have a name identical to the installed printer.
- To make sure that the option is selected, you should look at the "Print" window "Select Printer".
Windows malfunctions
Often, the failures of the operating system lead to the inoperability of technology. When the user wants to print the document, the system puts it in the queue. The most likely problem is the print queue hangs.
This is especially important as part of the office, when all employees are connected by a single network.
Also help the "hang" will be able to "spoiled" a file that cannot be processed.
Then it is certainly to abandon the action, and clear the print queue. It will work out if:

Also, you do not need to pull the sheets from the container to load it. It can damage them and lead to a printer breakdown.
Driver failure
This is an obvious reason if the operating system has previously changed, a new technique has been established, which is capable of conflict with the printer, or a failure in the system has occurred due to the impact of malicious programs.
You can eliminate this problem like this:
- enter the control panel;
- "A printer";
- make sure the exclamation mark of red or yellow appeared next to the printer name.
If a problem is detected, then the old driver needs to be deleted, and install a new one. It is best downloaded from the official site.
No paint in cartridge or his breakdown
Elementary absence of paint in the cartridge will force the printer to suspend its work. An explicit sign of such a phenomenon is white stripes on printouts. You can also check the level of paint like this:
- go to the control panel;
- select "devices and printers";
- press the "properties" of that equipment that interests.
Solving such a problem - refilling cartridges. If the laser printer does not print, then try to shake the cartridge slightly. Paint - Powder distribute and it will be possible to print for a long time.
Cartridge itself can also break. To make sure the breakdown, you need to examine it for the presence of flutters, cracks and other defects.
To the printer, as well as any technique, should be approached carefully, periodically inspect it and keep it in pure form. The reasons why such an equipment does not work may be a lot. But they are all decisions, and it is possible to make the printer can be earned on your own.
