Printer related problems and the ways to troubleshoot them!

Printer surely makes our life easier but there is no denying the fact that even the best of printers can give a hard time when it comes to technology-related issues. The good news is that you don’t need a professional degree to tackle printed related issues. 123.hp.com/setup will help you to understand and troubleshoot some basic printed related problems.

123.hp.com/setup will help you to actually see for yourself whether you are facing a major problem or it just requires a quick fix. We have listed some issues which might make you think that you require an engineer but in reality, you can troubleshoot them at the ease of your home/office.

1.     Check the status of your HP Printer

Ø If you are unable to print then just see whether the paper tray has adequate sheets and they are not stuck in any way.

Ø Check the ink levels of the printer which are displayed on the front screen.

Ø See if it is properly connected to the required system

2.     Clear any on-going print job

When we give a printing command and it doesn’t print right away then it is a common tendency to give multiple print commands for the same document. Clear the print queue so that you can print the documents smoothly. 123.hp.com/setup will help you to clear the existing print commands easily with the help of below steps-

Ø Go to Control Panel and click on ‘Devices and Printers’

Ø Right-click on the printer in which you are facing the issue and select ‘See what’s printing’ from the drop-down menu

Ø Choose to open as an administrator

Ø Open ‘Printer’ which is located at the top right and select ‘Cancel all documents’ and then click on ‘Yes’

Ø Give a fresh command to print

3.     Default printer settings

With some confidence, we can say that you are no stranger to this error if you have multiple printers associated to your system. When you give a print command, the job is automatically assigned to the default printer. If the desired printer shows connected but it is still not printing then it is because that printer is not the default one. With the help of 123.hp.com/setup, you can change the settings easily.

Ø Open ‘Devices and Printers’ from the Control Panel

Ø Find the particular hp printer which you want to use to print

Ø Right-click and select ‘Set as default printer’

Ø Click ‘Yes’ to confirm

Ø A green check will appear below the icon of HP Printer which means you have successfully changed your default settings and you are good to go.

If you are unable to find drivers for a particular operating system then you can refer to the printer manual and find the best fit as per your system.
