Why my printer not respond to commands from the computer

The printer was working and then I tried to print a page of the internet which had some pictures as well as words.  But then I cancelled the request because it was taking too long.  Since then, it's as if the printer and computer are not connected.  I checked all the connections.

Hello

·         What operating system do you use?

·         What is the brand and model of the printer?

·         You get the error message?

·         What exactly happens when you try to print?

I suggest you to follow the steps in troubleshooting section and check if it helps.

  • Why I have not received e-mails from the last 2 days?

    It seems that my account has been hacked. All my contacts were deleted and some of my emails from my inbox sent have also been removed. Quite simply, I can't receive emails. I tried to use my son's account to see if there is no message, but nothing whatsoever, just, I don't get the emails. What can I do to start getting emails again and maybe even get all my contacts back?

    Send you an email and see if you receive?  If this isn't the case, then there are probably a problem with your account.   If you get it, you may have no emails in the last 2 days (or if you are unsure that you did, just on).  If you use an e-mail program, go to the place on your online account and see if the emails are there - then the problem is that they are not transmitted for some reason any (it could be your e-mail program or it could be the provider - difficult to say at this stage).

    You need to discuss with your email provider (one that provides you with e-mail service - perhaps your ISP, but maybe someone else entirely).  They are the ones who can access these things on your account and understand what is the problem (or help you to fix your computer's settings so that you get emails again).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Why can I not get no response from the audio input jack? have you tried 4 different microphones in Final Cut Pro

    I have started working on FInal Cut Pro and have discovered that my audio Jack does not recognize any microphone that I plug.  I tried 4 different microphones up to now.   The input Attenuator is turned up 50% and beyond with no effect.   The entry just says "Audio" preferences pane: "Line input" with no other available device.  Am I missing something here?   He is 4 years old and this is the first time I tried audio input.

    The line-in input on a Mac requires an entry amplified, not a single entry.

    Is what brand and model of printer?

    I do not work unless your new router has the same SSID and password wireless as the old. Consult your printer documentation to find out how to handle the situation. For example, some Lexmark wireless printers have a program called Configuration Utility Wireless in the Lexmark folder under all programs on the start menu that is used to set up the printer when changes are made to the wireless network.
