      If your Samsung printer isn't printing, start by ensuring it's receiving power by checking the power cord connections, power switch, and power source. Make sure that the printer is selected as your default printer. Also, verify that the printer cover is closed, there are no paper jams, paper is loaded, and the toner cartridge is installed. If the printer is in manual feed mode, add paper to the Multi-purpose Tray and press the On Line/Continue button. Check and, if needed, reconnect or replace the cable between the computer and printer. Ensure the port setting is correct, and the printer properties are properly configured. Reinstall the printer driver and check the display message on the control panel for system errors.
