Troubleshooting Options for Your HP Printer

Having trouble with your HP printer? It could be that some very easily fixed problem is to blame. We’re here to help. These are just some ideas. Rather than call a service technician, try these tips first and you can save some money.
  • The first thing you should do is check over your HP printer for anything obvious. Is it plugged in? (You’d be surprised to find that this DOES happen!) Ensure the cord attached to the printer is fully inserted. If it gets loose, you won’t have an operational printer. Take out the ink or toner cartridges and put them back in. Sometimes they may not have been installed correctly. Ensure they are the right model.
  • If nothing seems wrong so far, try rebooting. Sometimes when you turn the printer completely off for at least 30 seconds or more, and turn it back on, it goes about its business like nothing has happened.
  • Check your printer manual for other ideas. It usually has a troubleshooting section. If you have the original software that came with your printer, you can reinstall it. First uninstall the printer software already loaded, then reinstall from the disc.
  • Go to the HP website and see if you have any drivers you need to update. There’s an option on there to test this, and if you need updated drivers you can download them right there.
  • At times the memory is low, and you can add memory to increase it.
Another way to save is to purchase high quality compatible or remanufactured ink or toner cartridges. They are much less expensive than OEM versions, and meet or exceed the output and quality of the OEMs. Inkjetsuperstore Canada offers discount toner and ink cartridges that will provide professional print jobs. And we back our cartridges with a one-year full money back guarantee.
