HP psc 2110

HP 2110 All-in-One powers up normally and everything looks normal, except it will not print. No changes have been made to any hardware, software, drivers or cable.

re-cycle power to printer and computer and still no printing.

No message in window on printer and computer says printer is connected and everything is working correctly.

It worked yesterday, but now it does not.

SOLUTION:

This is what I did in sequence, but all steps may not be important.

1. Open up cover to look at print cartridges. (yelling is an option)
2. Close cover.
3. Place something to scan on scanner (handwritten obsenities is an option).
4. From the computer print a test page. The test page is in now in then print que, but no printing. No message from computer that there is a problem and no message on printer that there is a problem.
5. Unplug HP 2110 printer from power, but keep printer connected to computer.
6. Wait 30 seconds (which was originally designed by help desks so the clients would calm down).
7. Hold down cancel and LEFT arrow buttons on HP 2110, while plugging the power to HP 2110.
8. Release the cancel and LEFT arrow buttons.
9. HP 2110 starts up normal, but still not printing (test page remains in que).
10. Press "Start copy - black" button.
11. Press "start scan"
12. Eureka, test page prints then scanned page prints.
13. Appologize to printer. Caress printer and clean with dry soft cloth.
