Check the USB port
Unplug the printer from the USB port, wait a few seconds, and then plug it back in. If that
does not help, try plugging the cable into another USB port.
Check for conflicts with port-sharing devices
If you are using a parallel cable, make sure your printer is connected directly to the parallel
port. Avoid sharing the port with other devices such as a Zip drive or other printers.
Check the network setup
If you are sharing the printer, make sure it is properly set up in your network environment.
See
and the documentation provided by your network vendors.
