Symptom: Cause: Solution: You get the message, "Printer not responding." Nothing happens when I try to print. Your HP OfficeJet is turned off or disconnected. If the HP OfficeJet printer doesn't respond when you try to print, it may be set to the wrong port. Turn your HP OfficeJet on by pressing the "I" on the On/Off switch located on the left side of the machine's base. Make sure that the interface cable is connected. (See "Connect the Interface Cable for Printing" in the Installation Guide). Click Reconnect. If your HP OfficeJet was previously able to connect to the device, check that the cable is securely connected at both ends, the device is turned on, and "Ready" is displayed on the front panel. Check that any data switch in use is set to connect to the HP OfficeJet. Then click Reconnect. Run the Windows front panel, select Printers, select the HP OfficeJet, then click the Connect button. Select the port that is connected to your device. Do not select HP OfficeJet. Click OK, close Printers and the front panel, and try printing again. If you still cannot connect: 1. Close the HP OfficeJet Manager. 2. Exit Windows. 3. Turn the machine off, then back on. 4. Restart Windows. 5. Restart the HP OfficeJet Manager. If your HP OfficeJet has never connected to the device, you may be using a cable, data switch, or centronics port that does not support bi-directional communications.
