It happens to the best of us: you hit 'print', and... nothing. Before you start thinking about a new printer, check out these quick fixes. First, ensure the printer is turned on and that it has paper and ink or toner. Sounds simple, but it's a common oversight.

Paper jams are like the hiccups of the printer world - annoying, but usually quick to fix. When a jam happens, turn off your printer; this'll prevent any damage to the machine. Then, gently remove the jammed paper. Be careful not to rip it and leave pieces behind as they can cause issues later on.

Nothing says "unprofessional" like a streaky, faded document. Quality issues can be due to a few different things.

Wireless printers are super handy until they decide to go rogue and not connect. Start with the basics: make sure your printer is within good range of your Wi-Fi router and that your network is working properly. If other devices are having trouble connecting, the problem might be with your network.

If the network's not the issue, try reconnecting your printer to the Wi-Fi. Sometimes they just need a little nudge to remind them where they belong. If your printer still isn't making friends with your Wi-Fi, our team at 800.835.7919 is always ready to step in and sort things out.

Printers are like teammates treat them well, and they'll perform better for longer. Regular maintenance can help you avoid many common problems before they start.

A little printer TLC goes a long way. Regularly cleaning your printer can prevent dust and debris from causing quality issues or jams. Every once in a while, open it up (when it's not hot, though!) and use a gentle touch to dust it off.
