At the right time, as is usually the case, there are technical problems. For example, with a printer. When you urgently need to print an abstract, term paper or any document, the system displays an error. To understand why the printer does not work in a particular case, consider some of the causes of the problems.
Necessary
Drivers, wires, cartridge
Instructions
Step 1
First, if Windows displays a window that says "printer not found", you need to check if it is properly connected to the computer. Make sure the printer is connected to the network and to the computer. Basically, these are two wires: one from the printer to the network, the second from the printer to the computer (usually via USB).
Step 2
Secondly, if everything is connected correctly, you need to check if the drivers are installed correctly. It may happen that due to a reinstallation of the system or due to virus-related problems, the software installation of the printer has been interrupted. It is necessary to install the drivers from the disk that comes with the printer, or download them from the Internet. It is important to remember that different printers require different drivers.
Step 3
Thirdly, if there is a problem with the printer, you need to check the presence of ink in the cartridge. If the printer is in color and is out of black ink, it will print in different colors, if the printer is black and white, blank pages will come out. Some cartridges can be refilled several times, and some are disposable. For color printers, you will have to buy cartridges of the missing colors.
Step 4
Also, be sure to check the presence of paper in the printer and the problem for its "chewing" by the printer. If the printer has jammed paper, open the cover and gently remove the paper by pulling slightly. Just remember to unplug the printer when doing this). If the printer is constantly wrinkling paper, you need to contact the wizard.
Step 5
The printer may stain the paper when printing. To fix this, you need to clean the parts of the printer that come into contact with the paper. On most printer models, this is a rubber shaft. The quality of the printed documents significantly depends on the quality of this part. Any unevenness, indentation or roughness can result in poor print quality.
