If you run a business, you probably have a few printers scattered around your office. You depend on those printers for everyday tasks like printing receipts, schedules, payroll information, and other critical documents that help your business run smoothly. That means if they start giving you problems, your business could seriously suffer. If you have business printer troubleshooting questions, you’ve come to the right place. As long-time commercial printing experts, we’ve seen just about every business printing issue you can imagine. Read on to learn more about how you can solve all your office printing issues!
Printer Not Printing Issues
If you find yourself asking, “Why won’t my printer print?” you probably have one of several potential problems with your office printer. Most printers these days, especially if they have a digital screen, will show an error message that may show you what’s wrong. If it’s not showing an error, you might want to make sure your printer is connected both through USB and Ethernet cables, or that it is still connected to the office WiFi.
You may also have low ink in your printer. Many modern office printers issue ink warnings when one or more colors of ink begin to run low. Some printers simply stop printing when one color or another runs low, so you have to stay on top of your ink levels at all times to guarantee quick printing without extra hassle.
Another common issues many business office printers have has to do with their drivers. A driver is like a file on your printer and PCs that enable your devices to work together. A common troubleshooting tip given by most experts is to reinstall printer drivers on the manufacturer’s website to ensure they are fully up-to-date.
It Takes Way Too Long
When you try to print a document and you find yourself waiting around for your printer to actually print, you may have some issues with your WiFi router. It’s important to keep your devices as close as possible to the router so they always have a strong signal. It’s also a good idea to power cycle your router and printer once or twice a month by completely unplugging both devices and giving them at least 15 minutes to completely restart. This will keep your devices fresh and not bogged down by prior, lingering tasks.
If you are trying to print a huge amount of documents, for print marketing products, new products, employee handbooks, service brochures, or otherwise, your office printer may simply not be up to the task.
