My printer says "Failed to print" whenever i try to print something... what's wrong?

Question

it has ink and paper for sure...

please help.... i need to print an essay!

Answer 1

This is usually the error received if there is a problem with the computer connecting to the printer. I would try turning off the printer for a few minutes (5 whole minutes is usually best) and then turning it back on and trying to print again.

If that does not work then check all of the cables connecting your printer to your computer to ensure that it is all connected.  

Answer 2

turn on printer

Answer 3

I usually get that problem too. All you have to do is restart your computer with the printer on and the document still on standby or failed to print. Do not cancel the print; just restart your computer, and make sure your printer is on. Your printer should atumatically start printing when your computer logs back in.

Answer 4

First, check all the connection.  Second, if the printer is connected correctly, then delete the driver and then download a new driver for your printer.  This should solve your problem.  Usually, its the driver problem.  Simply replace it and you should able to print.
