2. Restart both the printer and your computer. Once they are both back on, try and print.
3. If your printer is plugged into your desktop / laptop via USB cable, make sure that is plugged in securely (you can unplug it and try another port, or just unplug it, give it 5 seconds and plug it back in)
4. If your computer is connected via WiFi, just make sure the WiFi is on on the printer (you can check printer status from your printers display screen).
5. If your printer is connected to your network via an Ethernet cable, make sure that the cable is securely in, you can remove it and plug it back in.
