Product will not turn on or print
Is the parallel or USB cable working and connected correctly?
The parallel or USB cable might be defective. Try the following:
●Disconnect the parallel or USB cable at both ends and reconnect it.
●Try printing a job that has printed in the past.
●Try using a different IEEE
●Contact the manufacturer of your computer about changing parallel port settings to an ECP (extended capabilities port).
Are other devices running on your computer?
●The HP LaserJet 3300 series product may not share a parallel port. If you have an external hard drive or network switchbox connected to the same port as the HP LaserJet 3300, the other device might be interfering. To connect and use the HP LaserJet 3300, you must disconnect the other device or you must use two ports on the computer.
●You might need to add another interface card.
Is the product getting power?
●If you are using a power strip, make sure the power strip is on. Or, try plugging the product directly into the power outlet.
●Test the power outlet to make sure it is working.
●If you have plugged the product into a switched outlet, make sure the switch is on.
●If you have a 220V product, make sure the power is switched on.
WARNING! If the product still does not turn on after you try the above tips, it may have a mechanical failure. Unplug the product from the power outlet and contact HP. Refer to the support flyer that came with the product for information on contacting HP.
