Help!! My Printer will not work…..

 

If your printer is not working:

  1. Make sure the machine which must be on for printing from other computers is indeed on.
  2. (printer is blinking) Check the ink cartridges.  On some models, even if the black is full and the color is empty it will blink.
  3. Make sure the printer is installed.  See the procedure below. Installing your printer on the classroom student computers and computer lab machines
