Problems with the printer itself
Typical problems which are directly related to the printer include:
• The printer is not available (there’s probably some error at the
printer; check the control panel to make sure that the printer is on
line and not displaying any error message).
• Output is gray rather than black, or there’s nothing on the page at
all (the toner cartridge is almost empty or completely empty).
• Random areas of the page are blank, or have marks on them (often
this means that the toner cartridge is damaged; try replacing it).
