Hp Psc 500 printer broken.?

Question

I have a HP PSC 500 printer, and it won't turn on. It's plugged in and everything, is there something I can do to get it to turn on?!


Thanks!

Answer 1

First - are all ink cartridges full? MIne will not print if even one of four cartridges is empty.

Second, check the driver to see if it is working correctly:
click Start
Settings
Control Panel
System
Device Manager
locate and right-click on the icon for the device
select Properties
You will be told if the device is working properly and be given the chance to update the driver.

If this doesn't do it -- is it USB connected? Sometimes
you have to reinstall the device - read this:

- With Windows Plug & Play feature, Windows is supposed to recognize any device plugged into a USB port -- the problem is after it recognizes something once, Plug & Play will never again try to install that device. You need to erase all memory of the device (printer etc) from the computer.
- Right-click on My Computer, cl Properties, click Hardware, click Device Manager.
- Click on the plus sign next to “Universal Serial Bus.” Look for the problem device’s name and right-click. Now Remove. Restart and reinstall.

Answer 2

Make sure that each section of the power cord is securely connected. If that doesn't fix the problem, "wiggle" the cord at each connection while pressing the printer power switch to see if you have a problem in the wiring such as loose wire or bad cable. - whatever. Good luck
