Printer won't respond

Try to re-insert the color cartridge into the printer and make sure it is properly seated in the cartridge carrier.
If that doesn't help, try to clean the print nozzles. Please follow the steps below:
1. Press Copy. 2. Press Options until Maintenance appears on the display. 3. Press the right arrow until Clean Cartridges appears on the display. 4. Press Select. A nozzle page prints, forcing ink through the nozzles to clean the clogged nozzles. 5. Print your document again to verify that your print quality has improved.

Most likely this is a print head issue. The print head is what the cartridges sit in inside of the printer. To attempt to resolve it, do the following:

(1) Open the printer
(2) Remove the ink cartridges from the print head.
(3) Use cotton swabs dipped in hot water to thoroughly clean the print head and each ink cartridge.
(4) Repeat this until there is no ink residue coming off on the cotton swab.
(5) Once finished, allow to dry and replace the cartridges
(6) Try to print something now

If that does not work then you have one of two possibilities:
(1) One of the ink cartridges is defective and causing the error
(2) If it's definitely not that, then the print head will need to be replaced.

Turn the printer off.
Disconnect the AC power.

On your computer, click Start
Click Control Panel
Click Printers
Select the Dell Printer
Uninstall it
Restart your computer
Turn the printer on
Allow the computer to reinstall the device-device for the printer.
Print a test page.

This is a simple 3 step fix

a) Get rid of printer
b) Get rid of husband
c) Get new printer

Hope this works!! :-)

A good self test page indicates that the printer and print cartridges are functioning properly. Something else is causing the print quality problem

If you can’t print and you’ve tried other solutions, reset the print system. The process deletes all printers from your Printer list, deletes information about all completed print jobs, and deletes all printer presets.
1.) Select Apple menu > System Preferences and click Print & Fax.
2.) Hold down the Control key as you click in the Printer list, and choose “Reset printing system” from the pop-up menu that appears.
3.) then, Add the printers you use.

did you add a printer onto the computer control panel
did you down load the printer driver from the manufacturers web page downloads

You either have a bad toner cartridge or bad fuser. Measure the distance from and exact on image printered to the exact same spot on the page it appears again. If it's fuser it will be 41.0mm between image and defect. Any other spacing on the front of the page is usually cartridge.

Try replacing the cartridge first and if that doesnt fix the issue it's fuser.

Here's a link for the service manual. Look at page 117 to get a complete list on repetative defects and their causes.

Hope that helps you.

Well, as I dont know what exactly youre doing I will advise you to do the stantard process:

1. Uninstall the printer completely (COMPLETELY)
2. Copy ALL the document and paste it over a new one (WORD, PUBLISHER... same thing) just open a new document and paste all the text and save it with a different name.
3. Restart the computer
4. Reinstall the driver again and make sure it is OK by printing a TEST PAGE...

IF OK and the test page is OK then print your document.

IF NOT 1: the test page does not comes out OK, then you have a problem either in the printer driver or the printer mechanism (cartridges maybe, try replacing them for originals) if this way thing still bad, you have no better choice than take the printer to a technician as I assume your are clueless in repairing printers.

IF NOT 2: the test page comes out OK and the document does not, (MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT PRINTER inside "print options") the problem could be your computer and not your printer.

IF NOT 3: it would be very rare, but you could have a problem with the spool service (the windows service that manages printing matters) but in this case nothing shoud be printed ok. So if the test page is ok, the problem is NOT your printer and you should look for the problem in your computer or your operative system.

Best luck!

try to install it at another computer
if not relevant - this is the fuser i think
