You might come across certain issues with your printer while working on a Word document, such as an error message saying, “Printer Not Responding”. Usually, such an issue happens due to an error in a specific template or a particular document. Worry not, there are many ways to fix such common printer problems; below are a few troubleshooting steps you can try.
Do this as a basic test. If you are unable to print a certain page on Word, you can try to print another page. This will confirm whether the issue is pertaining to a single document or template in MS Word, or whether your printer has run into a technical problem.
For that, open the Word processing software and click the Office Button on the top left corner. Choose New in the resulting menu to open the New Document pop up box. Now select Blank Document in the window and click Create.
Enter some random text in the file to print, and use the Ctrl + S shortcut key combination to save the file on your computer. After you have saved the file, click on the Office Button again, and select Print from the dropdown menu. Alternatively, you can use the Ctrl + P shortcut keys to open the Print command box.
Select the name of the printer in the pop up window and click OK to print the document. If the test print is successful, it means that the MS Word template you used earlier was faulty. So you will have to create a new custom template in order to fix the printing problems. However, you can also try renaming the existing template to see if resolves the printer not responding error.
Once you are finished with these steps, create a new document following the previously mentioned steps, and take a test print again. You should be able to take the printouts successfully now. However, note that you may not be able to print the documents made using other templates. So you also need to create a new template and set that as default.
The above steps would have helped you to fix your printing issues with MS Word. However, these are applicable only if there was an error with the document file or the template. If the printer not responding problem persists, it may be due to some other error, in which case, it will be better to get in touch with our technical support team for further assistance.
Sometimes, the printer won t print error can be due to the print spooler problems, whereas at times, an outdated printer driver can also lead to the issue. So it would be always better to call our printer tech support team to diagnose and fix the problem promptly.
