If your printer does not print, your printer and your computer may
not be able to communicate properly.
The following events also indicate two-way communications
problems:
• A message displays on your computer screen indicating your
printer cannot establish bidirectional communications with
your computer.
• Print cartridge ink level indicators on the Status or Cartridges
tabs of the printer's Control Program are shaded.
• Error messages (such as Paper Out) and job progress
information do not display on your computer screen.
Before proceeding, verify that:
• The parallel, or USB, cable is securely attached to both the
printer and the personal computer.
• The printer is plugged in and turned On.
• Your printer port is set to an LPTn port for a parallel cable, and
to a USB port for a USB cable.
If you have a switch box or other device (such as a scanner or fax)
connected to the computer's parallel port, make sure it supports
bidirectional communication. You may need to disconnect your
printer from the switch box or other device and connect it directly
to your computer.
