My printer had run out of colored ink, and these new fangled ones will not even print in black and white if you are out of colored ink, so I bought some.
Popped the new cartridge in (this was two weeks ago) and the printer dialog kept saying it was offline when I got ready to print. I thought maybe because our power had been out that day, very briefly. I did the trouble shooting steps, it still would not print. So I shut it down.
I had not taken any more time on it, but I really needed to print something for tomorrow.
I turned on the printer, and made the document I needed. I was pleasantly surprised!! It printed with no problem at all.
Two weeks ago I had opened up my print utility and manual, but not done anything. I did not expect it.
This has literally made my day.

Must have been something going on due to the outage.

The infamous printer woes, we've all been there. It's like they have a mind of their own, especially when it comes to ink. How fantastic that your printer decided to cooperate and deliver that much-needed document without a fuss.
Do you have any other gadgets that all we need to is to shut it down to function correctly?

Maybe it just needed a rest and time to get to know the new cartridge...

Printers can be so annoying. I'm sure they're programmed to break down. I'm glad that in this case, it worked well for you.

It fixed itself during the two weeks! My printer gives me fits occasionally as well. I'm glad you are able to print now. Have a great day.
