Nothing herein should be construed as constituting an additional warranty. [. . . ] Make sure the power cord is connected firmly to the printer and to a working outlet, and that the printer is turned on. If you tried to print when the printer was turned off, you should have seen an alert message on your screen. If the printer was off and you did not see a message when you tried to print, the printer setup might be incorrect. Make sure the printer cable is firmly connected between the printer and the computer. Make sure the rear panel is correctly installed and the knob is in the lock position. Make sure your HP deskjet printer is selected as the current or default printer and that Pause Printing is not selected in the Printer menu. Complex documents containing many fonts, graphics, and/or color photos take longer to begin printing. If the Power light is blinking, the printer is processing information. Make sure paper is loaded correctly in the tray and that the paper is not jammed in the printer. See "Loading paper" and "Paper is jammed in the printer" for more information. Make sure that both the black and color print cartridges are properly installed and that the access cover of the printer is closed (see "Replacing the print cartridges" for more information). The Print Cartridge light flashes if the print cartridges are not installed correctly. See "Printer lights blink" and "Print cartridge problem" for more information. 5-1 ENWW Try printing a sample page. Press the Resume button and release it when the Resume light starts to blink. Print a generic Windows test page: Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers (Windows NT 4. 0, 98, Me, and 2000) or Printers and Faxes (Windows XP). If the test page prints and the printer previously worked with the same software program you are using, try printing another file using the software. If this file prints, the file you were previously trying to print might be damaged. If none of the above solutions worked, this problem is likely caused by your software program's inability to properly interpret print settings. Otherwise, check your software program manual, or call the software manufacturer to get more specific help for this problem. If the test page does not print, ensure that the correct port (USB, LPTx) is selected and that the printer is connected directly to your computer. If your printer is connected to a switch box, make sure that you have selected the correct switch. Make sure that your printer is properly set up in your network environment.
