Check that the printer and/or network cables are securely connected to the printer. If you are using a parallel cable, ensure that it is also firmly connected to the computer.

•Check printer setup

Make sure your HP 2500C Series printer is selected as the current or default printer.

•Check document file

Your document may be corrupted. Try printing another file from the same software application.

•Disable bi-directional communication or stop sharing printer port with another device
