I Can't Print to a Network Printer, What Do I Do?

Network printers are easy to use and share resources, since large network printers typically print much faster than small desktop models. The problem, of course, is that when the network printer is down, no one can print, so knowing how to find and resolve the source of the problem is essential. Follow the given tips to solve the problem.

Step1: First check the network status from Network and Sharing Center option. From this option you can check whether your computer is connected to your network or the Internet, the type of connection, and what level of access you have to other computers and devices on the network.

Step2: Now try to identify and resolve the home network problems. Right-click on the network icon and open Network Diagnostics and the click Diagnose and repair.

Step3: Try to troubleshoot file and printer sharing.

• Check the printer status that it is powered on and ready to use. And also check that the computer you are trying to print from is connected to the shared network.  

• Make sure that each computer that you want to access for printing is in the same workgroup. The name of the workgroup should be exactly the same on every computer. If the printer is plugged in to another computer and shared on the network, make sure that the computer is turned on.

Top 10 problems with HP printers and solutions

HP manufactures a wide range of printers, from inexpensive ink jet models for home users through laser printers and large-format units found in digital studios. Although new models are constantly introduced, many legacy HP laser printers are considered workhorses, so it's not unusual to see them still on the job. No matter what kind of HP printer you use, realize that they all are susceptible to a large number of problems. Here is the list of common hp printer problems.If you want to install new hp photosmart printer then follow my blog-How to Install an HP Photosmart Printer

1. Paper jams
A printer will jam for any number of reasons: It's dirty, the wrong paper type is being used, or the rollers on the printer that feed the paper through its pathway are worn down. While cleaning the printer periodically and using the correct paper type are easy fixes, roller replacement can be a difficult job depending on the model of HP printer. For some HP printers, the rollers are easily accessible, but you'll need to completely tear down other models to remove the rollers.

2. Some or all of the printing on the page is faded
A faded print image is normally the result of one of three conditions: The printer is getting low on toner, the print density is set too low, or Economode printing is turned on. For the last two settings, a printer self-test (typically a separate button on the printer) will show what the current settings are. If Economode is on, and users are complaining about how light the print is, turn it off and/or set the print density higher. If the toner is low, simply removing the cartridge and shaking it to redistribute the toner more evenly can temporarily resolve the problem until you can replace the cartridge.

3. Ghosting
Ghosting is a condition where the image prints properly, but a much lighter copy of the image also prints elsewhere. This can be due to a problem with the power outlet that is supplying power to the printer. Check the power outlet by plugging in a different printer to see if the same results occur. Ghosting can also be caused when consumable printer parts (such as the drum or imaging kit) are near the end of their life.

4. Toner smears or does not stay on the paper
If words and images come off the paper when a hand is run across them, there are a few possible problems. First, the fuser assembly may be damaged or at the end of its life. The solution is to replace the fuser assembly. Repairing a fuser assembly is generally not recommended because the fuser is considered a consumable printer part and not worth the time or effort to fix. Second, the toner cartridge may be defective and letting too much toner out at one time. In a black-and-white laser printer, the solution is to replace the toner cartridge.

5. Printer is displaying a 50.4 error message
A 50.4 error message on some of the newer HP LaserJet printers indicates a problem with the power supply. If the printer is connected to a UPS, disconnect it, or disconnect it from a power strip and plug it directly into a wall outlet. A laser printer should never be plugged into a UPS, because the UPS can be damaged by the surges of power required by a printer to keep the fuser assembly warm. If that doesn't work, make sure that all of the components in the printer are seated properly.

6. Can't find a driver for a particular operating system
As new operating systems are released, new drivers will need to be loaded for your existing printers. Not all printers have a driver for every OS. In these cases, it's best to consult the printer manual and find out what printers the drivers will emulate. While not all of the functionality of the printer will be available under this emulation, at least basic printing will work. For example, most HP printers will print with the HP LaserJet II driver installed, although specific options, such as duplexing, will not work.

7. Printer is not printing from the expected paper tray
Look in two places to correct this particular error. First, look on the printing PC, and second, on the printer. If the application is set to print to the wrong paper tray, correct it within the application by clicking on Printer Properties and finding the Tray Selection source. On the printer, make sure that the paper sizes in the control panel match what is actually in the paper trays.

8. Printer picks up all the paper from the manual feed tray rather than one sheet
The pad that is responsible for separating the paper has likely worn out and needs to be replaced. You can order and install a new pad without sending the printer out for repair. It is also possible that the paper is wet due to humidity. Make sure the paper is properly stored and that it is -fanned" before putting it into the printer.

9. Printer is displaying a 79 error
A 79 error can be the result of a problem with the network print server that services the printer. When troubleshooting a 79 error, first open the Printer folder from the Start menu on the Print server to make sure there are no jobs pending. A 79 error can also indicate a failure of a printer add-on component, such as an MIO card or a RAM module. All add-ons should be removed and then added back to the printer one by one to determine which module may be at fault.

10. Trouble printing onto envelopes
Envelopes can cause many problems for laser printers. Choose envelopes that are close to 9kg paper in weight and thickness. Also, make sure that the adhesive on the envelope is capable of withstanding the heat that the fuser puts out to keep the printing on the page. If you don't, the envelopes will come out of the printer already sealed. If envelopes are coming out of the printer wrinkled, they may be too stiff for the paper path.

How to Resolve Dell Error Code 0141

The Dell error code 0141 is a hardware related error which appears when you first load your Dell computer. The 0141 error is a problem caused by an issue / mismatch between the hard drive and your operating system of your PC. The error is typically shown to warn you about the lack of an internal hard drive, but if there’s one in your system it suggests that this problem is caused by a mismatch inside the Windows system.

The typical causes of this error are as follows:

• Corrupt or damaged Windows processes

• Damaged registry settings on your system

• A computer infected with viruses or malware

If you want to fix your dell laptop then follow my blog-How to Fix a Dell Laptop

Step 1 – Use The “Dell Hard Drive Self-Test” Facility

The “Self Hard Drive Test” is a feature of Dell computers which allows you to test the integrity and reliability of your hard drive(s) on your system. This tool is used to help you gauge how well your hard drive is running and will allow you to pinpoint the exact cause of the 0141 error on your Dell PC.

Using The Self-Test Utility From The Dell Resource CD:
If you do not have the Dell resource CD installed on your PC. Please use the steps below this method to install it.

• Restart your PC and reinsert the resource CD into the CD or DVD drive.

• When Welcome Dell System Owner window will open then click Next to display the Criteria page.

• Under the System Criteria column, choose ALL for the system model, ALL for the operating system, ALL for the device type, and DIAGNOSTICS under Topics.Click Dell DST Diagnostic Utility and run the DST diagnostics utility.

• If the diagnostic test reports an error, refer to Dell Troubleshooting or get dell tech support.

How To Install The Dell Resource CD:

• Insert the CD into the CD or DVD drive to display the CD auto-runs and the installation screen.

• Click OK to start the installation and display the InstallShield window. And click next to continue and allow the files to copy to the hard drive.

• When the InstallShield Complete Screen window appears, click Yes, I want to restart my computer now. Then click finish.

Performing this self-test will show you what is happening on your computer, and will allow you to see whether your hard drive has any sort of intermittent problem or has any damaged parts to it. This will give you a much better understanding of the problem, and should help you if you want to contact Dell Support about the issue. 

Step 2 – Scan For Viruses

 Viruses are also a major reason why the Dell 0141 error will show. Viruses are basically small software programs which latch onto your PC and corrupt many of the programs and files that Windows needs to run. In order to ensure your system is able to run as smoothly and effectively as possible (without the 0141 error), you should use an antivirus program to remove any of the possible infections inside your PC.

Step 3 – Clean Out The Registry

The registry is also a big cause of problems on many Dell systems, and is one of the big causes of the 0141 error. This is a part of your computer which stores settings and information, allowing your PC to “remember” many different files and settings for your system. Unfortunately, the registry is constantly causing problems on your PC as it makes Windows unable to read the files and settings it needs to run, as it’s forever being corrupted and damaged.

If there is no power going to the laptop  then check the power source otherwise unplug the power adapter and plug in another electrical device to this same socket. If this electrical device also isn't powered, the problem is with the socket.

Step2: Check the battery indicator light on your laptop. It should be on the underside or on the side of the PC. It may be that your battery needs to be swapped. Dell batteries typically are good for 1000 partial/full charges. After that point and leading up to it, they begin to hold their charge for less and less time.

Step3: If any problem in laptop screen like- LCD display cracked in any way, If so, attend to it as soon as possible. If the screen is flickering, it is likely a failed or failing backlight. you should take it into local computer shop or ship the unit to dell.

Step4: Now check the video failure and listen closely to your computer. Do you hear the Dell computer fan running? If you can no longer hear the fan running, the problem not with video but with the main board or power system. To see if it is indeed a video problem, use a VGA cable to hook up another, outside monitor to your Dell. If this monitor does not at least light up when you power up your system, you can count that this is not a fan-related problem, but a video failure to same degree. You should consult from professional help for your Dell laptop.
