If Something Goes Wrong
Resolving a hardware conflict

Refer to the card’s documentation, which should contain a 
troubleshooting section.

This section lists some of the most common printer problems:

Check that the printer is connected to a working power outlet, 
turned on and ready (on line).

Check that the printer has plenty of paper. Some printers will not 
start printing when there are just two or three sheets of paper left in 
the tray.

Make sure the printer cable is firmly attached to the computer and 
the printer.

If your printer is ECP- or IEEE 1284-compliant, make sure you 
have an IEEE 1284 printer cable.

Run the printer’s self-test to check for any problem with the printer 
itself.

Make sure you installed the proper printer drivers, as shown in 

You may have connected the printer while the computer is on. 
Disable Standby mode, turn off the computer, and turn off the 
printer. Turn the printer back on, make sure it is on line, then turn 
the computer back on.

Try printing another file. For example, you could create and 
attempt to print a short test file using Notepad. If a Notepad file 
prints correctly, the problem may be in your original file.

Contact your network administrator if the printer is on your office 
network.
