1- Examine your power cord. Your printer or computer may not even be the issue. Over time, connector cables like USBs can degrade and burn out, necessitating replacement. Unfortunately, they lack the warning mechanisms that your printer and computer have, so they can malfunction and leave you in the dark. Try using a different cord with your printer. If your USB is the problem, having a spare connection cord on hand will let you to fix right away and resume printing more quickly.
2- Memory or RAM ran out- Modern printers are extremely complex machines. The majority of devices today contain memory to save print jobs, whether it be a few megabytes or many gigabytes in a big office risograph. You’ve probably ran out of memory if your printer is connected but printing so slowly that it might as well not be.
Fix Slow Printer Speed
Any significant print operation can be abruptly halted by a sluggish printer. Slow software, an unstable wifi connection, or both might result in slow prints. Verify that all of your printer drivers and printer software are up to date for a simple remedy. The most recent software update may be downloaded straight from the support website for your printer or from the LCD screen of your printer.
Move your printer closer to the router for a stronger connection if you think the wifi is the problem. Additionally, we advise you to verify your printer’s quality settings. The amount of ink used varies depending on the quality level, which might slow down printing. Printing a document in “Best” mode, which consumes more ink, will take far longer than printing it in “Draft” mode. Generally speaking, your printer will print more quickly the simpler the settings are.
Why My Printer Won’t Print?
Even if you recently fitted a brand-new ink cartridge, there are a variety of potential causes why your printer could not be printing. To rule out the following, try going through this list:
Try printing a test sheet to identify the missing colours. If any colours are missing, your printheads may be clogged. Printhead clog fixes are provided below.
The new cartridge may not be installed or you may have forgotten to remove the yellow tape off it.
You are using an old printer driver.
Get the print queue cleared.
Reset your printer firmly. You just need to switch off your printer, unplug it for a short period of time, and then plug it back in. Try shutting down both your computer and printer, then restarting them if that doesn’t fix the problem.
Try deleting your printer driver first, then reinstalling it.
If all else fails…
There is one more if you have exhausted all of these possibilities: your printer could be close to failure. As with all other devices, printers degrade with time, at which point you must decide whether to repair it or buy a new one. If you decide that replacement is the preferable course of action, you may choose the ideal new model for your requirements using a variety of available resources.
