Most likely the printers internal equipment is dirty, or clogged.\n\n1) Right-click on your Epson Stylus icon, and go to "Properties"\n\n2) Find the tab for the "Printing Defaults" link\n\n3) Click on the "Utility" tab\n\n4) Perform the following procedures:\n\n * Nozzle Check"\n * Head Cleaning\n * Print Head Alignment\n\n-----------------------------------------------------\n\nIf for some reason these steps do not work, it could be that the ink has dried out and the ink cartridge needs to be replaced.\n\nHope this helps.

The printer should switch on even if not connected to the computer. The computer connection is only to transfer "data"... meaning your documents, files etc. which need to be printed.\n\nDouble check the power connection. Press the "on" button on the printer harder. If it still doesn't come on then there is some problem with the printer and call the company for help.

Depending on your printer, the Maintenance Program may have a CLEANING option.  That might do the trick.   \n\nGo to the Control Panel, and pick PRINTERs, then right click on your printer and pick PROPERTIES.   If there is a maintanence section, pick CLEANING or DEEP CLEANING as my Canon printer has. \n\nIt is also possible that your new cartridge has failed.   Remove it, and try using a kleenex to wipe the electrical contacts clean.   If none of this works, see if you can take it back to where you bought it. \n\nSTAPLES is very HASSLE FREE about returns and exchanges.    They never charge a restocking fee.

First, be sure to un-install all the old drivers and programs installed originally with the printer.  Then download and install the latest drivers for the printer.  Then, plug it into a different USB port than the one used before.  Usually works.

The one thing that you didn't mention trying is this: Uninstall the printer and reinstall the printer. Do you have the cd that came with the printer? If you do not, you can download the drivers from the HP website. ALSO you might want to see if there are updated drivers on the HP website --- Hope this helps!

YOU ARE HAVING "SPOOL" PROBLEMS.\n\nMost of the time, you can reinstall the Drivers. ( The Disk) that came with it.\n\nYou might do a uninstall first, just to avoid any other issues. \n If you have only 1 printer, delete anyother printer programs you have, they may be conflicting.\n\n\nGood Luck.

Time for a new printer maybe.\n\nIf there is no power to the printer then its either the printer, the power cable or the socket.\n\nolder printers often have a power switch on the back- check that.\n\nPlug it into a different power socket and see.\n\nTry another power cable and see.\n\nBasically if its the cable or the printer you may as well buy a new printer as a replacement cable can be expensive.

Please make sure you removed the tab that covers the ink chamber and, if it still doesn't work, try removing it and re-installing it.  You just might not have it seated properly...it happens sometimes.

Maybe the circuitry is fried.  Reinstall the printer driver, make sure none of the plastic strips are still in the printer cartridge and then reboot your computer.
