Troubleshooting the Printer
I cannot print.
 Make sure the power to the printer is on, and the printer cable is securely connected to both the printer and your
notebook.
 The default setting for the printer port mode is correct for most printers. If you cannot print, try changing the printer
port mode.
1. Click Start on the Windows task bar, and then Control Panel.
2. Click Performance and Maintenance, then System. Select the Hardware tab, and click Device
Manager.
3. Double-click Ports (COM&LPT), and then ECP Printer Port (LPT1). Select the Port Settings tab,
and choose a different LPT Port Number.
 Your connected printer may not function after the notebook resumes from a power saving mode. If this occurs,
follow these steps to reset the printer connection:
1. Click Start and then Control Panel.
2. Click Printers and other Hardware, and then Printers and Faxes.
3. Right-click the icon of the printer that is not functioning, and then select Properties to open the
Properties window.
4. Click OK to close the Properties window. The printer should now function properly.
