Common Printer repairs that can make you panic

Basic things first

Though these reasons might seem very trivial to you, believe it or not, they often go overlooked. Sometimes, even the most obvious reasons seem far-fetched. First and the foremost, check for the following reasons

Is the printer switched on?
Does it have the paper inserted and the toner intact?
Is the power button switched on?

Network printer won’t budge

Earlier when the printers in the network where connected by means of a physical cable, the level of troubleshooting were lower as compared to the wireless printers which are in the network. However, try the following steps before officially heading for a printer repair.

Restart the printer and then check for the functionality.
Check the printer connectivity in the network. Try to print the test sheet from the printer directly. If it still doesn’t move, the take the printer manual and check how to print a local test print. Once the printer is able to print a test sheet locally, check for the IP address which should be the same on all the connections in the network.
Reconfigure the network settings of the printer after turning off and restarting the printer.
Sometimes installing the special drivers is necessary after you reconfigure the network printer.

USB Connected Printers not working

Start with the most trivial thing. Is the USB cable attached properly? Is the power button on? So and so forth … However, now comes the complicated part.

On Windows, in Control Panel

Select ‘Printers’ -> Select ‘Add Printer’ button. Follow on-screen instructions.

On Mac,

Apple Menu -> System Preferences -> Printers & Scanners. Check if the printer is present, else install the printer on Mac.

In case, if the printer is still not showing up, change the USB cable or have it checked by a qualified technician.

Printer not working after System Upgrade

At times, the printer stops working after operating system upgrades. During these times, you would need a new printer driver. You will have to check with the manufacturer if there are new drivers available.

Paper Jams

There is a lot more to paper jams that it meets the eye. Sometimes, a pup of paper gets jammed in the printer which can lead to a paper jam.

Try removing every bit of paper from the printer as every small bit can block the path and cause a paper
In case the paper jams are too often, then try cleaning the printer using a special paper that is specially designed to clean rollers and other objects from the paper path
