Workaround: Check the data cable connection between the printer and the computer host, check the data cable for damage, etc.

　　Scenario 3: Insufficient disk space, causing printer to not print

Generally speaking, the printer program needs to print at least 10M of free disk space, if less than 10M may cause printing can not be normal, in the current computer, this situation is basically no, because a computer can not even 10M free space.

　　Scenario 4: The primary printer is not set as the default printer

Failure to print a printer as a default printer is mainly the case where multiple printers are used on a single computer. For example, common sharing print settings, such as the computer has the application printing needs to use the printer installed on the machine, but we have to set the shared printer as the default printer, This causes the program to not be able to find the corresponding printer, naturally cannot print, this situation is also relatively easy to happen.

Workaround: Check which printer the computer application corresponds to. To set the corresponding printer as the default printer, you can set the default printer by the following methods:

　　Scenario 6: The printer is not installed driver (that is, the printer is not installed properly)

Printer to achieve printing, the printer must be installed normally, the general printer has a drive disc, we choose the corresponding model of the installation can be, but many friends like to download drivers on the Internet, this situation may lead to installation to not the same model of the driver, resulting in the printer can not print. The solution is: try to use the CD-ROM with its own printer driver.

　　Scenario 7: Printer printing time timed out, causing printer to not print

Sometimes because of printer paper problems, or the printer itself may have a glitch, resulting in a slow printing, printing time than the system default time, this situation can try to increase the printing time to try.

Solution: Replace the better printing paper to try, or the appropriate increase in the print time, set as follows:

1. In the Printers window, right-click the printer icon, and then click Properties.

2. Click the Details tab to increase the timeout settings under Timeout settings. The unselected item is the time that specifies window s waits for the printer to enter the online state, and an error message is displayed after the specified time.
