Everything you need to know about office printer problems
The most common causes and professional solutions
Printer problems are among the most frequently reported IT issues in the office. They're also among the most frustrating, especially when you urgently need to print documents for a meeting or a client. The causes range from simple driver problems to complex network configurations. As part of our hardware management, TRON Group offers complete printer support.
The most common printer problems
The issue we see most often is driver problems after Windows updates. Microsoft regularly rolls out updates that overwrite printer drivers or make them incompatible. Suddenly, nobody can print. With professional workplace management from TRON Group, we test updates before they're rolled out, so problems like this don't happen.
Network printer problems are common too. A network printer that's suddenly unreachable can be caused by a changed IP address (always use a fixed IP for printers), a problem with the switch or network, or a firewall rule blocking print traffic. Through our helpdesk, we resolve problems like these quickly, often remotely.
Print server: the professional approach
For offices with more than 10 workstations, we recommend a print server. A print server centralises printer management: drivers are installed once on the server and distributed automatically to every workstation. When there's a driver problem, you only need to apply the update in one place. A print server also enables print accounting, follow-me printing and secure printing. TRON Group sets this up as part of your managed IT.
What can you try yourself?
Before you call the IT department, there are a few things you can check yourself. Is the printer switched on, and is the display free of error messages? Is there paper in the tray and enough toner? Is the USB cable properly connected, or is the network connection active (check the network light)? Try clearing the print queue and restarting the Print Spooler service. Still not working? Then it's time for professional help.
