  If your Samsung Printer is not printing, there might be several reasons. First, ensure the printer is receiving power by checking the power cord connections, the power switch, and the power source. Second, verify that your Samsung ML-2510 Series, Samsung ML-2570 Series, Samsung ML-2570 Series PCL 6 or Samsung ML-2570 Series PS is selected as the default printer. Also, make sure the printer cover is completely closed. Check for and clear any paper jams. Ensure paper is loaded in the tray and that the toner cartridge is properly installed. Finally, check the connection cable between the computer and the printer, disconnecting and reconnecting it, or trying a different cable. Also, verify the port setting is correct, ensuring the print job is sent to the correct port.

  If your Samsung printer keeps jamming, it might be due to a few reasons. First, you may have too much paper in the tray, so remove the excess paper. If you are using special print media, try using the manual tray. Second, ensure you are using the correct type of paper that meets the printer specifications; again, use the manual tray for special media. Lastly, there may be debris inside the printer; open the front cover and remove any debris you find.

  Sara AndersonAug 15, 2025
  If your Samsung Printer prints text that is wrong, garbled, or incomplete, several factors could be the cause. First, check if the printer cable is loose or defective by disconnecting and reconnecting it, trying a previously successful print job, testing the cable and printer on another computer, and trying a new printer cable. Second, ensure the correct printer driver is selected in the application’s printer selection menu. Third, the software application may be malfunctioning, so try printing from another application. Finally, the operating system could be malfunctioning. If printing from Windows, exit to a DOS prompt and verify functionality by typing Dir LPT1 at the C:\ prompt and pressing Enter, then exit Windows, reboot the computer, and turn the printer off and on again.
