How to troubleshoot basic Lexmark W850 problems or an unresponsive printer?
First, ensure the power cord is correctly plugged into the printer and a grounded outlet, and that the outlet is not controlled by a switch or breaker. Avoid using surge protectors or extension cords. Check that other electronic equipment plugged into the same outlet works. Confirm the printer is powered on and the power switch is working. Verify the printer cable is securely connected to both the printer and the computer or network device. Ensure all options are properly installed and the printer driver settings are correct. After checking these, turn the printer off, wait 10 seconds, and turn it back on.
