Can’t connect to the printer 

 
  • Check if the printer is turned on.
 
  • The issue is on the printer’s side:

 
  • There could be an error displayed on the printer’s screen (out of paper, ink level low etc). Usually in this case the printer let’s you know how to continue. 
 
  • If the printer doesn’t have a screen, there should be an indicator light close to the buttons. The light should be orange (might blink) in case of any issues. Restarting the printer could help.
 
  • The issue is on the computer’s side: 

  If the printer is connected via USB (There are several cables connected to the printer. One of them is connected to the computer.) :
 
  • Unplug the USB cable from the computer; 
 
  • Restart the printer;
 
  • Plug the USB cable back into the computer (After a successful connection, there should be a short notification sound.); 
 
  • Try printing again and make sure the correct printer is chosen.
  If it is a network printer (there are no cables between the printer and computer):
 
  • Try the Windows fix:  Start >Settings > Devices > Printer & scanners > Add a printer or scanner.
 
  • Below will be a list of printers the computer already knows.
 
  • Pick the correct printer and click "Manage".
 
  • Click "Run the troubleshooter".
 
  • Try adding the printer again: Start > Settings > Devices > Printer & scanners > Add a printer or scanner
 
  • It would be good to delete the old printer before adding a new one -  Start > Settings > Devices > Printer & scanners > Choose the printer > click "Remove device"   
 
  • Adding a new printer is done in the same window. Just pick „+ Add a printer or scanner“. If the search is completed, a list of printers the computer found will be shown. 
 
  • Select the correct one and click „Add device“ or „Install device“ (Depending on the version of Windows, the button is different.)  
 
  • Try printing again.
 
  • If the recommendations above didn’t work, contact IT support.
