All computer hardware needs software to tell it how to operate and what to do. This software is called a driver. If your system has crashed or has suffered from a power surge, it is possible that your driver is no longer installed. If you have recently installed a new printer, you will have to install a driver in order for it to work as well.

If you printer used to work, but now does not, it may be to a crash or power surge on your system. This may have caused your printer driver to be uninstalled. If you have a new printer then you will need to install the printer driver for that new printer.

Sometimes you will find that paper gets jammed up inside of the printer and this will cause it not to work. You must carefully remove the paper and then hit the paper feed button to get it going again.

Check your paper. Did it get jammed in the printer the last time you tried to print? Did you pull it out in frustration? This may have left small particles of paper in the printer that you need to remove carefully. You can hit the paper feed button once you have removed all paper debris.

It is probably safest to first shut down your entire computer before reattaching the connection. On some systems you can get away without taking this extra step.
