Begin by power cycling both your printer and computer. Disconnect the printer from the power outlet, wait 60 seconds, and reconnect. Restart your computer. Then, check the printer's display panel for specific error codes. These codes often provide clues about the issue. Also, ensure the printer cable (USB or network) is securely connected or that the Wi-Fi connection is stable.
