Troubleshooting

Communication problems over a USB connection

NOTE: For information on network communication problems, see “Wireless setup troubleshooting” on page 108. For information on communication problems involving a memory card, PictBridge camera, or storage device, see “Memory card troubleshooting” on page 127.

If the HP All-in-One and computer are not communicating with each other, try the following:

•Make sure the print cartridges are installed.

•Make sure you have paper loaded in the input tray.

•Check that the HP All-in-One does not have a paper jam.

•Check that the print carriage is not jammed.

Open the print cartridge door to access the print carriage area. Remove any objects that are blocking the print carriage, including any packing materials. Turn the HP All- in-One off and then turn it on again.

•Check that the HP All-in-One print queue is not paused. If it is, choose the appropriate setting to resume printing. For more information about accessing the print queue, see the documentation that came with the operating system installed on your computer.
