If you are using a wireless printer, try directly connecting the USB cable first and print.
If it works then there was a problem with the wireless connection.
Simply disconnect the device from your computer, restart the computer and re-establish the wireless connection.
After reconnection try printing another document to verify resolution.
If this does not work remove all connection s and restart both your computer and the printer.
Then reconnect the cables and try again.
It may also be the firewall that’s blocking the connection; you can disable the firewall through control panel and try again.
If all else fails.
Shut down the printer, run a system restore then restart and try again.
If the printer you want to use or print is connected on another computer, check and verify that the printer is turned on and the computer where it is connected to is also turned on. Check and verify that the printer is shared properly across the network. Before you can share one printer with two computers, both computers must be on the same network and the printer is shared to both computers.
If you have a Wi-Fi network at home, the easiest way to share the printer is to connect both computers to the Wi-Fi network. Before sharing the printer, make sure the printer is installed properly on the computer where it is directly connected to and you can use it without any problem. You can download the latest driver from the manufacturer’s website.
To share your scanner or printer properly across the network, on the computer where the printer or scanner is directly connected to, click “Start,” “Control Panel,” “Printers and Other Hardware” then “Printers and Faxes.” Here, right-click your printer or scanner then select “Sharing.” On the properties window, in “Sharing” tab, make sure “Share this printer” is selected then enter your device’s shared name in the “Share name” text field.
For example, without quotes “Shared Printer” then click “OK.” After this, you need to add the shared printer or scanner to the rest of the computers on the network. To do this, on every computer, click “Start,” “Control Panel,” “Printers and Other Hardware” then “Printers and Faxes.” Next, click “Add a printer” then click “Next.”
In “Add Printer Wizard” dialog, select “A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer” then click “Next.” Windows will then search the network for possible shared devices and display the results on the screen. Select the shared device you created earlier called “Shared Printer” then click “Next.” And that’s it. The shared printer or scanner should now appear on the computer.
This should now allow you to use the network printer to print documents from any computer connected to the network.
