Quick answers

Questions people often ask.

These are general printer information topics. Exact steps can vary by printer model, computer, phone and operating system.

Why does my printer say it is offline?

Start by checking power and the printer selected on your computer or phone. Then check the connection and whether the printer is available on the same network when using a network connection.

What should I check when nothing prints?

Start with the simple basics: power, paper, selected printer, connection and the print queue. If those look correct, move to software or driver-related checks.

Why can’t my phone find the printer?

Confirm the printer is powered on and connected, then check the connection method and whether the phone and printer can communicate through the same network.

What should I do about a paper jam?

Follow the printer’s normal paper-removal procedure and check the accessible paper path carefully. Avoid forcing paper or parts that do not move normally.

Why are my pages faded or streaked?

Check the printer’s supply levels or status, paper settings and print settings. The appropriate maintenance steps can depend on the printer model.
