Printer Problems
Basic Checks:
Disconnect the cable from the computer and check the cable
connector for bent or broken pins. Check for damaged or frayed cables.
If the cable is not damaged, make sure that it is firmly connected to
the computer.
Test the electrical outlet: verify that the printer is connected to a
working electrical outlet.
Ensure that the printer is turned on.
Check for interference: electrical appliances on the same circuit or
operating in close proximity to the computer can cause interference.
Refer to the documentation that came with the printer for the correct
parallel port mode. Enter system setup and verify that the appropriate
mode is selected in the Integrated Device menu.
