2024-04-02 14:06:43
After using the Windows program to issue a command to print a document to a local printer, what if the document cannot be printed at all? The following I use Epson LQ-1600K (Epson dot printer) as an example to teach you a few tricks, hoping to solve your urgent needs.
1. Make the printer online.
If the printer is not online, it is naturally impossible to print.
2. Turn on the printer again.
If the printer is online and still cannot print documents, you can turn on the printer again at this time, not only clearing the printer memory, but also solving many printing problems.
3. Set the printer as the default printer.
Proceed as follows:
1. Click the Windows "Start" menu, point to "Settings", click "Printers" to open the "Printers" window.
2. Right-click the printer icon, the system pops up a shortcut menu, click on "Set as Default".
4. Cancel printing pause.
The method is: In the "Printer" window, right-click the icon of the printer in use, and then click to clear the check mark "√" before the "Pause Printing" option.
5. Make the available space on the hard disk not less than 10MB.
If the available hard disk space is less than 10MB, you must free up more space to complete the printing task. At this time, click the "Disk Cleanup" button, and then in the "Files to be deleted" list box, select the file type to be deleted, and click the "OK" button.
6. Increase the timeout setting of the printer.
Check or change the timeout setting, the steps are as follows:
1. In the "Printer" window, right-click the printer icon, and then click "Properties".
2. Click the "Details" tab and add various timeout settings under "Timeout Settings". "Unselected" item is to specify the time that Window s waits for the printer to enter the online state. After the specified time, an error message will be displayed.
7. Make sure to print to the appropriate local printer port.
Proceed as follows:
1. In the "Printer" window, right-click the printer icon, and then click "Properties".
2. Click the "Details" tab, in the "Print to the following port" box, make sure that the printer has been set to the appropriate port. The most commonly used port is set to "LPT1", and some printers use a USB port.
8. The output generated by the program is incorrect.
To determine whether the output generated by the program is correct, you can use the method of printing documents through other programs to verify. We use "Notepad" to print the test document, the steps are as follows:
1. Click "Start", point to "Programs", point to "Accessories", click "Notepad" to open the "Notepad" window.
2. Type a few lines of text, and then in the "File" menu, click the "Print" command.
If you can print the test document, it is because you have a problem with the program you used to print, please reinstall the program.
9. Reinstall the printer driver.
Sometimes, the printer driver may be damaged, causing an error that the document cannot be printed. We can reinstall the appropriate driver before printing.
1. In the "Printer" window, right-click the printer icon, then click "Delete", and then click the "Yes" button. If the system prompts "Delete special files for this printer", click the "Yes" button. If prompted to delete the default printer, click the "OK" button.
2. In the "Printer" window, double-click the "Add Printer" icon to open the "Add Printer Wizard", click the "Next" button, and then execute the on-screen instructions.
10. Make sure the port and printer cable are working properly.
After carrying out the above nine tasks, the following methods can help you further discover the problem:
1. Is the printer cable connected securely? If the computer is directly connected to the printer, make sure that both ends of the cable connecting the computer and the printer are plugged in securely. If you use a printing switching device, please bypass the switching device, connect the printer directly to the computer, and then try to print.
2. Test the port connection. Connect the printer to another available port. Retry printing the document. If it can print, the original port is damaged.
3. Test the printer cable and replace it with another printer cable, and then try to print the document again. If it can print, the original cable is damaged.
