Title: 5 Common Printing Problems (1)
15 Common Printing Problems
2- If you are having problems with your printing, we
have the solution. Here's how to solve some of
the most common difficulties. - Printers can run reliably for many years and
thousands of prints, but often they do not. Why
is this? Sometimes it is as simple as over or
under use. Many home users simply dont use their
inkjet printers often enough and this can lead to
problems with dried up ink blocking the nozzles.
A two-week holiday can ruin a set of ink
cartridges.
3Solve common printing problems The printer
wont print
- There are numerous possibilities, so start with
the basics, such as checking to see whether there
is an error message/warning light on the printer,
making sure there is paper in the tray, the ink
cartridges arent empty, the USB cable is plugged
in or the printer is connected to the Wi-Fi
network. If it is a wireless printer, try using a
USB cable instead.

network. If it is a wireless printer, try using a
USB cable instead. Sometimes old printer drivers
are still installed and set as the default
printer. Open the Control Panel, Devices and
Printers, right click the printer to use and set
it as the default. Make sure that the correct
printer is selected in the program you are
printing from.
5- Microsoft has a printing troubleshooter that can
help to identify problems. Click the Fix it
button, download and run the program, then follow
the steps in the wizard. You can also open the
Control Panel, Devices and Printers, right click
the printer icon and select Troubleshoot. It
doesnt always help, but its worth trying. HP
has a Print and Scan Doctor to identify problems,
and Canon has lots of great videos on its website
click your printer model and then click the
Troubleshooting videos link.
6 7Solve common printing problems I cant print
from my tablet
To print from an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, the
printer must not only be wireless, but also
support AirPrint. The list of AirPrint printers
is growing. (support.apple.com/kb/HT4356), but
there are still a lot of printers, particularly
older models, that dont support it. If you have
an Apple Mac with a printer attached, you can
turn it into an AirPrint printer using HandyPrint

9- Some Samsung phones, tablets and printers are
designed to work together and printing is
straightforward. To print from any Android phone
or tablet to any PC printer you can use Google
Cloud Print. - Install it on the mobile device from the Google
Play store. Next, using Google Chrome on your PC,
go to the menu, Settings, Advanced Settings and
click Manage. You can then add the printer
attached to the PC. Provided the PC and printer
are switched on, you can print from the Android
device.
10Solve common printing problems My printer tells
me to replace the cartridge
- Printers warn that the ink is running out before
it actually does. In a busy office it might run
dry in an hour, but a home user only printing
only occasionally could find that it lasts
another couple of weeks. Order new cartridges as
soon as the message appears, but dont install
them until it either stops printing or the
colours fade.
11Solve common printing problems The web page
wont print properly
- Web pages can be any size and they arent limited
by the width or height of the paper in your
printer. They often arent designed to be
printed, which is why problems can occur. Always
choose the Print Preview option in Internet
Explorer so you can see what youll get. You
might not need all the pages, for example, if
there are lots of comments or adverts, so use the
option when printing to select the pages to
print, such as 2-4 to print pages 2 to 4. Choose
landscape mode if the web page is very wide.
12- Internet Explorer offers a shrink-to-fit option
that helps when pages are just a bit too big to
fit on the page. Some pages, such as those with
coupons, have a print button within the web page.
Use that and not the print menu in the browser.
13Solve common printing problems The paper gets
stuck in the printer
- When this continually happens, suspect a small
shred of paper stuck somewhere in the paper feed
mechanism. Take the paper out of the tray, open
all the flaps and look inside. You might need a
torch to see the paper and long tweezers to reach
it, which can sometimes be small and hard to see.
Look underneath the printer because there may be
an access panel that can be removed to examine
and clean the paper feed mechanism.
14 - Old paper can absorb moisture, which makes it
stick and then it is pulled through two or more
sheets at a time. Keep it in a bag until it is
needed. Check out Canon's troubleshooting
videos to see how to remove pieces of paper stuck
in printers.
15Solve common printing problems A blank
sheet is ejected every time I print
- This is a useful feature in offices where a
printer is shared among many people and it
separates one print job from another. Its
irritating if you are the only user through. Open
Devices and Printers in the Control Panel, right
click the printer and select Printing
Preferences. If you cant see an option to
enable/disable separator pages, right click the
printer and select Properties or double click it.
With HP, for example, you double click the icon,
double click Customise your printer, and select
the Advanced tab. Theres a Separator button to
configure the option.

17Solve common printing problems Print quality is
poor
- The nozzles on inkjet printer heads can become
blocked causing horizontal streaks on prints and
poor or wrong colours. Cleaning the print heads
can solve the problem. The procedure varies from
printer to printer and there may be an option on
the printer control panel or in the printer
software on the computer. You might need to look
this up in the manual. With an HP inkjet for
example, there is a Start screen app for Windows
8 users and this has a Maintenance button. Click
it and you can clean the print heads or align
them.
18- The type of paper affects the print quality and
photocopier paper wont do. It is too absorbent
and inkjet ink soaks into it like blotting paper.
Buy good quality paper for the best prints. Its
a similar situation with laser printers and the
right paper gives the best results.
