Don’t Use Your Printer Enough
Did you know not using your printer can actually lead to issues? When not used, ink can actually dry up and block the nozzles, leading to a situation where no ink comes out during the printing job. We recommend using your printer every so often (even just to print a test sheet). This can prevent any issues with ink drying and blockages.
No Ink This one is probably one of the most common problems we see, the printer cartridges are simply out of ink. Typically you just need to go buy new cartridges, some models may have refillable cartridges you can use, however, this is far less common these days.
Not Plugged In Not having the printer plugged in happens more than most people would like to admit, but hey, it happens! Always make sure that any plugs your printer may have are properly plugged in and secured. Even a lose cable can sometimes lead to issues with printing.
Not Connected to WiFi Some printers these days work using WiFi and without them being properly connected will not work. Depending upon the type of printer, different programs may be needed to properly connect your device and print. Make sure you follow directions when setting up your printer to avoid these problems.
