Error Printing Message<\/h2>\n

Many of us take to social media to share our daily woes. And on Twitter recently, we came across this post from Gillian Parker who was experiencing an error printing message.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Tweet<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Immediately, we were intrigued (excuse the typo in tweet!):<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The printer in question was a HP Deskjet F4280 All-in-One. Sometimes error printing message and such like appear after new cartridges have been installed, but this wasn\u2019t the case here. On Gillian\u2019s computer, this is what she saw:<\/p>\n

So how can this be resolved?<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re experiencing the error printing message\u00a0problem, here are the 3 steps to take:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First of all, cancel any print jobs that may be in the queue.<\/b> As you can see from Gillian’s picture, she had a few jobs stuck in there. Old printing jobs can cause a backlog and can stop you from being able to print. Right click on each one and cancel the job. If you can\u2019t seem to cancel them\u2026<\/li>\n
  2. Switch off and restart the printer.<\/b> Sometimes this is all that\u2019s needed to solve this. If there are any jobs in the queue that can\u2019t be shifted, a restart should flush these out. Now try and print. More often than not, this should resolve the problem. If this still hasn’t\u00a0done the trick…<\/li>\n
  3. Check the paper in your printer. <\/b>It might be having trouble picking up the paper in your input tray, especially if you have an all-in-one and can still use its other functions.\u00a0So we advised Gillian to follow the tips in this video from HP for her Deskjet F4280 All-in-One printer:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
