First of all ensure that the printer is on. Once a printer is on it be supposed to have several type of light (usually green) that shows that the printer is getting power and is on. If you do not have any indicator light then you have to check that the printer is connected to a working power outlet by confirming each end of the power cable. Next you have to click the printer power button. If after executing the above steps your printer still not able to get a power status indicator it is likely you are come across a serious printer problem as well as we advise you to contact the printer manufacturer for other steps as well as directions on repair or replacement.

Have you checked that the cables are connected properly or not? Your printer must have two cables connected to it. Which is the power cable and the data cable, the power cable be supposed to have previously been confirmed as being attached if your printer has a power indicator light. Confirm that the data cable like parallel cable or USB cable is as well connected from the printer to the computer.

If you have connected a printer to your computer and after that it does not work or strangely stops working. Then it should be that you have never install driver. And if you have installed it and after that you are facing the problem then you might require installing the driver once again so install drive properly. May after reinstallation you will get your problem solved.

The most general way to install a printer is to connect it directly to your system. This is known as a local printer. And after that Windows be supposed to automatically notice it as well as begin installation while you plug it in. for installing a wireless printer that connects to your computer over a wireless network (Wi-Fi), you be able to utilize the Add a device wizard to install the printer. So make sure that you have sure about all this things.
