Printer not printing

Last updated on Oct 02, 2026

Check the basics

  1. Is the printer switched on, with paper and no warning lights?
  2. Is the right printer selected? In the print window, check the printer name before clicking Print.
  3. Turn the printer off, wait 30 seconds, and turn it back on.
  4. Restart your computer.

Wireless printers

If the printer has lost its wifi connection, its screen usually shows it. Restarting the printer normally reconnects it.
