I was printing some forms this morning when the electric went off from the storm. Turned computer back on but now printer will not work. It's getting power but doesn't seem to be getting the message from the computer. Any suggestions?
 
Try unplugging the USB cord that goes from the printer to the computer, or re-starting the computer as well.
 
Yes unplug everything (even from the wall) and try again.

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing printer problems after the power outage. This can definitely be frustrating, but I'm here to help troubleshoot the issue. First, I would recommend checking all of the connections between your computer and printer to make sure they are secure. Sometimes, power outages can cause cables to become loose. If everything is connected properly, try restarting both your computer and printer. This can often solve any communication issues between the two.If the issue persists, you may need to reinstall the printer driver on your computer. You can usually find this on the manufacturer's website or on the installation CD that came with your printer. Simply follow the instructions to reinstall the driver and see if that resolves the issue.If none of these solutions work, it's possible that the power outage may have caused damage to the printer. In this case, I would recommend contacting the manufacturer for further assistance or possibly bringing it in for repairs.I hope these suggestions help and you're able to get your printer back up and running soon. Let me know if you have any further questions or if you need additional support. Take care!
 

1. Why is my printer not working after a power outage?

Power outages can cause disruptions to the communication between your computer and printer, resulting in connectivity issues.

2. What should I do if my printer is not getting the message from the computer?

First, try restarting both the computer and the printer. If that does not work, check all the cables and connections to ensure they are secure. You may also need to reinstall the printer driver.

3. How can I tell if my printer is getting power?

If the printer is not turning on, check the power cable and make sure it is securely connected to both the printer and the power outlet. You can also try plugging the printer into a different outlet to see if it is a power supply issue.

4. Why is my printer not responding to print commands?

If the printer is not responding to print commands, it could be due to a variety of reasons such as a paper jam, low ink or toner levels, or connectivity issues. Check these factors and troubleshoot accordingly.

5. What else can I do to fix my printer after a power outage?

If the above steps do not work, you can try resetting the printer by unplugging it from the power source for a few minutes and then plugging it back in. You can also consult the printer manual or contact the manufacturer for further assistance.
