Why Is My Printer Not Printing?
Check the printer’s own screen and the computer’s print queue to find where a print job is stopping.
A simple explanation
A print job may be paused, sent to another printer, or blocked by paper, ink or connection warnings.
Step-by-step checks
- Confirm the printer is powered on, has paper and displays no unresolved warning.
- On the computer, choose the correct printer and check whether the queue is paused or has an old stuck job.
- Try one simple page from another application to see whether the problem is limited to one document.
- For a Wi-Fi printer, confirm it is still connected to the same network as the computer.
Troubleshooting notes
Avoid repeatedly resending a large or sensitive document while the queue is unclear.
