The HP LaserJet
3100 product isn’t
working.

The HP LaserJet 3100 product may not
be receiving power.

The computer’s processor is too busy.

The hard drive on the computer may be
very full or is fragmented.

Check that all cords are plugged in at the
HP LaserJet 3100 product and the
computer and that they are plugged into a
live power outlet or power strip.
Also, try removing the power cord from
the back of the HP LaserJet 3100 product
and then reinserting it. If the Ready
message is displayed on the control
panel, the HP LaserJet 3100 product is
receiving power.

Try running fewer programs at the same
time on the computer. Do not perform I/O
or processor-intensive tasks (such as
sending a fax or playing a video game) on
the computer while printing.

Free disk space or defragment the hard
drive. See the computer’s documentation
for help.
