All connections work and icon shows that print is ready but no print

The description of the problem is not very informative. Any noise? Does the printer's display show anything? Does it light when you try to print? Does it feed the paper?
First try to copy using the Workforce. If that works, then the problem is one of connection with the computer.
If you see it in the printer and scanner folder click an its icon to see if the computer finds it. If the message says Ready, then your problem must come from a configuration setting. Try a print test.
If all is OK, it is possible that you might have checked the option Print in a file.
If the computer cannot find it check the connection (usb or Ethernet cables, or wireless router configuration).

Hello, sounds like your drivers are messed up, reload them to the computer or the connection cable maybe bad. If neither of these fix then the printer is bad.

How is it connected?
If its connected via usb cable just follow the steps below:
1. Make sure that Mfc5460cn lcd shows date & time. 2. Disconnect the usb cable from the computer and printer. 3. Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power outlet. 4. On the computer, cancel the document on queu. Go to printers folder and right click on the Mfc5460cn icon and left click on cancel all documents. 5. Reconnect the usb cable from the printer then to your computer. Make sure that it is connected securely. 6. Plugged the printer back to the power outlet and then wait for the lcd to show date & time. 7. Open the printers folder again. Make sure that the status is ready document 0 8. Right click on MFC5460cn then left click on properties. ON the lower left side of the window click on print test page.
The printer should print a test page. And it should work,
Hope this helps. Rate if it works. Thanks

Hi there!
You can check if the usb cable is connected directly & securely from printer to your computer. Once it's verified. The display of your printer should show the date/time.
Since the printer is displaying offline you can open Control Panel, go to Printers folder right click on the printer icon and select 'Use printer online' If you have pending documents right click on the printer icon and click on cancel documents.
Try checking for a duplicate copy of your printer driver or check which printer driver is selected as the default and has the status ready.
Right click on the printer driver that has a Ready status click on printing preferences and click on print a test page.
Hope this helps! Vikroks

Hi,

Are you able to print test page from Printer ?
This will help us diagnose and isolate the issue further
To print self test page ( Demo page ), do these steps below

Press the right arrow button simultaneously. It should start printing the demo page.
If this works fine, this could possibly be an issue related to print jobs stuck in queue.

To clear print job stuck in Queue
Click on Start button
Click on Control panel
Click on Printers and Faxes
Check for HP Laserjet Printer icon
Right click on the printer icon and Click Cancel all documents
Once you have done the above step, disconnect the printer from PC ( if using usb ) or turn printer off

Restart your PC/laptop
Check under printers and faxes folder if the Printer status shows Ready and 0
You are ready to print

Hi,

There must be IP address conflict.
Check the Dell printer IP address

Open Printers and Faxes Folder
Right click on printer icon ( dell )
Click on Properties
Under Ports Tab check the IP address with check mark
If the Ports IP address is Different as that in Dell Printer
Highlight the Port with IP address and click on Configure IP below
Change the IP address to the Printer and Click OK

Also check if there are print job stuck in the Queue ( like no. 1,2 )
The printer icon should show READY and 0
Or Else, Right click on the printer icon and Click Cancel Print job.

Restart your PC and Printer and try to print. It should work
If this does not work, let me know what is the Operating system of your PC

Try this Step if your Operating system is Windows 7
Right click on the printer icon
Left click on Troubleshoot
Continue with the Wizard and complete it
You are ready to print.

just check the connectivty between you print server by ping ing the ip address of print server.

hi im josh, friend you need to set up network connection for printer config.becoz it is different connection from your internet.try to do so.good luck.

disconnect printer from computer
cancel documents in queue
if using a straight USB connection, delete all instances of printer. else remove duplicate printer icons.
reboot & reconnect printer (swap cables if not detected)

check the ports first.. make sure that the printer is set as default ( make sure it has the green tick and the status "ready" or "online" on the printer icon in the printers&faxes. and if u want to connect it wirelessly, you have to install it as usb first before changing to wireless........
