My guess it something is still stuck in the gears/spindles. Take this apart and do a thorough cleaning of all moving parts. This is not as hard as it seems but you will have to be patient finding all of the screws that hold it together. Take pictures as you dismantle in case you forget where everything goes

Sometimes you actually have to physically remove and go into Devices and Printers to virtually remove it, then go into Programs x86 to delete the program and files associated with it and then add it all over again, and let the computer search for it. Also, if you have a disk that once worked to give it the proper drivers, the computer might not be updating properly and you would have to go to the manufacturer's website and download new drivers that are updated to work in your Operating Systerm.

Go into Control Panel to device manager to see if there are any yellow exclamation points. If so, uninstall and start up computer.

Hi Tony,

I assumed you'd like to share the printer on network. I recommend to buy a printer server device that will connect USB port of printer and that device has RJ45 port that can be connected to router or switch hub to share the purpose. Hope this gives you an idea.

Best regards,

I had exactly the same problem but was able to solve it by selecting "Reset All Settings". This is accessed via Main Menu/Printer Settings/Reset All Settings on the printer's screen.

Hope it works for you too.
