My new printer suddenly stopped making a connection between the printer and the item to be printed.  Printer says "Printer Ready" but does not show the item to be printed in the queue.  Cedar

there is nothing to look for it told you it is past the end of it's life so buy a new unit

To help you troubleshoot the issue, please follow the steps given below:
- Make sure the printer top cover or printer door is closed properly.
- Make sure printer power connections are turned ON.
- Make sure there is no print job stuck in queue, if yes then you need to cancel all the print job from queue and check printer shows ready to print display.
If issue persists, please update the printer driver from your printer manufacturer website.

hello,
plug your printer to a power supply, connect the printer to the computer, make sure it is screwed properly, the computer detects it as a new hardware, install the new hardware hen it is ready for use.

when you are about to print, you select the item you want to print, then you right click and select 'print' from the options, select the type of printer you are about to use and it is ready for use.

IMPORTANT The printer must be printing the Phase pattern of “H’s” when the Phasing Value is changed, or the New Phasing Value will not be written into NVRAM. If the value is changed when not printing, the printer will return to its default phasing
value when powered off then back on.
1. Install the ribbon.
2. Load full width (136 column) paper.
3. Power on the printer and set top of form.
4. Press Stop to put the printer into NOT READY mode.
5. Press Scroll ↑ + Scroll ↓ to unlock the Enter key.
6. Press Scroll ↑ + Scroll ↓ + Return + Enter to enter the CE Tests menu. (Press all four keys at the same time.)
7. The display will show “SERVICE / PRINTER MECHANISM TESTS”, the first menu item. Press Enter to enter the
mechanism tests menu.
8. Press Scroll↑ or Scroll↓ until
“PRINTER MECHANISM TESTS / HAMMER PHASING” is on the display.
9. Press Enter. The printer begins printing all H’s, each line preceded by the phasing index number.
10. Press Return. The display will show
“SERVICE / PRINTER MECHANISM TESTS”.
11. Press Scroll ↑ or Scroll ↓ until “SERVICE / HAMMER PHASE VALUE” is on the display.
12. Press Enter. The top line of the display will show
“HAMMER PHASE VALUE” and the bottom line will show the current phasing index number.
13. Press Enter. The phasing index (followed by an asterisk) will move up to the top line of the display.
14. Press Scroll ↑ or Scroll ↓ to increase or decrease the phasing index, then press Enter to activate the value as it prints.
Continue to increase or decrease the phasing index until the pattern of H’s appears.

15. When the print pattern is acceptable, press Stop. Printing stops, and the printer automatically enters the current phase
index value into NVRAM. The display shows “NOT READY”.
16. Press Scroll ↑ + Scroll ↓ to lock the Enter key.
17. Close the printer cover. Press Start to put the printer into READY mode.
NOTE: If you changed the phasing value, power down the printer, remove the shuttle cover, and write the new phase value on
the aluminum shuttle casting.

Your printer is not ready yet because you didn't see yet 4 colors Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black.
If this 4 colors are showed then your printer is online but if not it all shaded grey.
If still have a problem exist, insert the cartridge properly or calibrate it. Such problem like this are due to cartridge not inserted properly. I have one this kind of printer in my house CX5500, it's cool.
Power On & Power Off is the best result on this.
Good luck!

i believe this is a usb printer if so if you have turned off the pc you may need to go into the printer and faxes part of the start menu and open it up go to properties and make sure that the printer is set to print online not offline and usb connections can sometimes reset otherwise go to the control panel and see how many times your printer is listed delete all but the one that is listed online and try printing from that one set it as default

best luck

Uninstall the driver , and install again.
The problem will be resolved.

Uninstall the driver： Start\Control Panel\ Programs and Features\Remove all the lexmark items there.

I also own an HP D2360. I had the same problem with eyang and vinerc. I brought the printer to a computer technician and he told me that my color cartridge is busted and needs to be replaced. I bought
a new color cartridge and presto! My printer is working fine.

First  go to your pc and click on file, print when the window opens does it show your printer in there? is it set to THAT printer?  does it show as being Ready?

 

If not re download the driver,  then click on File, Print, right click on your printer and set as default.

Next double click on My Computer, ( or click on Start, Control panel, printers and faxes, put your mouse over your printer it should say Ready, if not then change the cable
