Cause: - There are numerous reasons why your Dell printer is not working. Among them are:

  • To save power, the computer is turning off the wireless adapter.
  • A firewall/antivirus is interfering with communication.
  • Some network data is missing.
  • The IP address is incorrect.

Solution : - If you utilize a printer made by Dell, you can follow the step-by-step instructions below :

Configuration of Printer –

  • You must navigate the control panel to find the printers and devices.
  • You must click on the printer tab and then right-click on the printer's properties tab.
  • Navigate to the ports tab.
  • Your IP address is now visible to you.
  • You must copy it and paste it into the address bar of your browser.
  • The printer screen's settings menu will open automatically.
  • Select the network or connectivity option.
  • You will be able to clearly see the IP address.
  • You can select static rather than manual or automatic mode.
  • Now, select the save and apply options.

Printing Status –

  • Turn it back on.
  • You must simultaneously press the Window key and the I key.
  • Select the devices option.
  • Choose the Drivers and Printers option.
  • Now, click on the green-marked icon and select the printing option.
  • If you couldn't find the green mark, choose Set as default printer.
  • You must right-click on set as defaulter printer and then select the see what's printing option again.
  • You must select the printer tab in the upper left corner.
  • You must untick the boxes next to pause printing and use printer offline.
