Before you go deeper

Three checks that solve more than they should.

  1. 01
    Power

    Is the printer awake, plugged directly into the wall, and free of a blinking alarm?

  2. 02
    Path

    Can the printer make a built-in test page or copy without involving your laptop?

  3. 03
    Network

    Are the printer and computer on the same primary home network, not guest Wi-Fi?
