This article is to share with you about why the printer is not working. The editor thinks it is very practical, so share it with you as a reference and follow the editor to have a look.

The reason why the printer does not work: 1, there are other printers on the computer in addition to the network printer; 2, the network is not connected or the computer is not in the same working group because of recent settings changes; 3, the computer that installed the printer canceled the printer sharing; 4, there is something wrong with the print driver.

Operating environment of this article: Windows7 system, DELL G3 computer

1. There are other printers on your computer besides network printers, and you set other printers as default printers (check method: start-set-printer and fax machine to see if the printer with black tick is a network printer. If not, right-click on the network printer and select the device as the default printer)

2, your network connection or because of these two days of settings change, your computer is no longer the same working group, because you are a local area network printer, so you can see in the network neighbors to see the workgroup's computer, if you can not see, check that the network cable is connected, the network card of the director is not changed in the past two days (if you can access the external network, skip this check). After checking the hardware equipment, see if your computer and the computer on which the printer is installed are in the same working group (usually MSHOME, the view method is: my computer right-property-computer name, there is a working group below), if not in a working group, change it (change method: my computer right-property-computer name, there is a "change" button below Just click on it and set the workgroup of the two computers to the same.

3. The printer sharing has been cancelled on the computer where the printer is installed. Enter "\ *. * *\" in the address bar of the IE browser and enter (where *. * is the IP address of the computer where the printer is installed) to see if there is a printer. If so, skip this step, if not Set up printer sharing (set up by opening the network neighbor on the computer where the printer is installed, click "set up Home and small Office Network", and follow the prompts for the next step)

4. If you still cannot print after the above two steps are completed, there may be something wrong with the printer driver. Try to see if you can print on the computer where the printer is installed. If you can't, don't say anything, just install the printer again. If you can, prove that the shared printer driver on your computer is damaged, you can connect to the printer again (install it by typing "\ * *. * *\" in the address bar of the IE browser and then enter (where * *. * * is the IP address of the computer where the printer is installed), see if there is a printer, and double-click the printer. I will prompt you for installation, and the question is that you may have a virus or something. Ignore him, just click OK.)
