Printer problems, please help?

Question

k so my printer was working fine until now and every time i want to print it says:
"Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer set up."

then it says show help and when i click on that it says:

"This error can appear if a default printer has not been designated or if the application is unable to locate an existing default printer. To correct this problem, try one of the following in Microsoft Windows:

If a printer is not available in the Print dialog box, add a printer.
If the application cannot find an existing printer that is already installed, set the printer as the default printer.
If a default printer is installed but the application is unable to use it, uninstall the printer driver, and then install the latest version of the printer driver.
If the printer is on a print server, make sure the printer is available, the network is functioning, the server is not stalled, the printer is not out of paper, or the printer is not suspended by the administrator. Printing issues associated with a network printer are best handled by your local network administrator. "

And this happens with my sisters computer and mine (we have a Dell Photo AIO Printer 964)

Answer 1

Unplug the printer for 20 minutes to reset the equipment, and run a printer cleansing cycle, this often times triggers the cartridges to artwork, that's not straightforward to tell what else ought to be the difficulty without the type of the printer, yet i've got faith you could want a clean printhead, use the printer finder on the link below to work out if printheads on your particular printer are offered as consumables,

Answer 2

You could try this:



Go to the 'Devices and Printers' menu. Then go to the printer. After that, it probably has a little yellow caution sign on it. Click on the printer and go to 'Documents in Queue.' Delete all of the documents that are trying to be printed.



Then, unplug your printer and wait for about 30 seconds.



Plug it back in and try reprinting what you need to print.
