Linked to a Networked Printer but its Not Printing

Sometimes the first thing that comes to mind is that the problem may be with the printer or the ink cartridges but a process of elimination will help discover where the issue is. If you are linked to a network first of all make sure that your printer is connected to an outlet from the hub and is online.


Go to your start menu and select settings followed by Printers and Devices. Next, double click on the printer icon and this should display any print jobs in the queue for that printer. Check if there are any error messages displayed in the printer log window. If an error is displayed then delete the job – only if it is one of your print jobs! If you are deleting the job, right click and choose cancel printing and resend the job for print.

If the problem still exists, try resetting the external hub between the printer and the hub box. Also check if there are any problems with the cable connection between the hub and the printer. You may need to reconnect the printer to the network hub. From your start menu go to settings and choose printers and devices, then double click add printer and click next. Select the option connect to this printer and type in the network path for the printer you wish to connect to. Follow the instructions on screen and select the printer to be your default printer.

If you discover your printer is now working but the print quality is poor, it may be that one or several print heads are clogged and a head cleaning procedure may need to be carried out. There are two types of print head within a printer. Firstly, there is the integrated print head, where the print head is located in the ink cartridge and secondly the print head is located directly in the printer and no the ink cartridge. If the print head is located in the ink cartridge, then the print head is being replaced every time you replace your ink cartridges. You may refill these cartridges – if you have experience of this – or sent off to be professionally refilled. The head cleaning operation for both types of print heads is straight forward and can be performed using the printer utility section and clicking on maintenance. Within the maintenance you can select to print a nozzle check, which will tell you if there are irregularities in the pattern. If so, proceed by clicking ‘clean heads’ and print another nozzle check. This will use up ink from the ink cartridge and can reduce the volume level drastically in some cases as it may take up to 4 cleans to clear a blockage.

Top Tips on How to Keep Printing Costs to a Minimum

The cost of original brand ink cartridges in Dublin has risen to an all time high in 2014. When we being to address the problem of the cost of original brand ink cartridges it would appear that the root of the problem lies with the size of the sponge holding the ink inside the cartridge. Most cartridges may appear to look the same on the outside but the sponge size has been considerably reduced on the inside and now holds less ink that before. Hence the current claim that a millilitre of print ink in Dublin is actually more expensive that the same volume of Champagne or Chanel No. 5!

In recent years, the manufacturers, leading to the consumer paying more money for less ink, have reduced the volume content of original brand ink cartridges in Dublin. Of course the ink cartridges need to be replaced more often and in reality you are paying more per page of printing.

Printing shouldn't have to cost the earth and with some helpful advice consumers can save money and slow decrease the waste going into landfill while maintaining a high quality print output.

1. Print duplex – also known as double sided printing – if possible set your printer setting/preference for automatic double-sided printing.
2. Buy the XL or high capacity version of the ink cartridges instead of a standard volume as the print volume is often higher and the cost per page is therefore cheaper.
3. Use a compatible or remanufactured printer ink in Dublin and save 30% – 70%!
4. Buy a printer that uses individual colour cartridges, that way you will only need to replace the colour that runs out!
5. Consult your ink supplier before you purchase a replacement printer to discuss the cost and availability of compatible ink cartridges in Dublin for your printer.
6. Print in black and white as frequent as you can.
7. Use an inexpensive bond paper stock. Save high-quality paper for the important high quality jobs.
8. If you print a lot of copies either black and white or colour, consider switching to a laser printer, again choosing to use compatible printer ink in Dublin.

Always consider buying compatible ink cartridges in Dublin to make the biggest savings on your printing. Many local shops and online stores will stock the popular printer brands with on-line shops offering good incentives such as free ink cartridges as incentives for repeat customers.

Tips to Find Correct Ink Cartridges for Printer Model

Very often when you buy compatible ink cartridges (and occasionally original brand ink) the model of the printer does not appear on the packaging of the box. Alarm bells immediately start to ring and you can become wary about opening the cartridge box. Even a quick call to the supplier might not allay your fears but the simple truth is that there is so many printer models added to the list of ink cartridges sold by all the major manufacturers that it's virtually impossible to list every printer on the box! A good example of this would be the HP364 ink cartridges. HP was certainly thinking a head when they first developed these cartridges, as there are over 60 printers that will use these same cartridges.

A good way to check for yourself is to read the ink cartridge code from the existing cartridge in your printer. If it matches the code on the box then you know you have the correct cartridge. If there are no ink cartridges in the printer then Google your printer model and search for the cartridges it uses – this will give you the code you can check off against the code on the box you have received. If you have received the incorrect cartridges, return them to your supplier and request the correct ones.

I have ordered the correct cartridges but my print quality is poor.

There may be several reasons why the quality of print outs are not as good as you would expect. First of all remove the ink cartridges and check if the seal has been removed form the cartridge. Obvious as it sounds it is still worth checking. Re-install the cartridges and check to see if it’s likely that only one of the cartridges is giving the problem. Every printer has a built-in 'nozzle check'; this can be accessed in the maintenance section of the printer utility. Perform a nozzle check to see if the print out matches the correct on screen chart. If you run this procedure 2 or 3 times (by the way this will use up ink) this may clear any blockage that's causing the poor print quality. The nozzle clean will clean all the print heads and use ink from each colour ink cartridge. If this doesn't make a difference to the overall quality of the print out, cease the cleaning operation, as it's likely to be a faulty cartridge. Replace this and this should eliminate the problem.

Which printer uses the best value ink cartridges in Galway?

As summer approaches and the restaurants and bistros get into full swing, the printing of bar menus and daily specials become a priority for most eating houses. Printing your own menus will keep the cost down and cut out the need for a commercial printer. The added advantage of printing your own menus is the flexibility in making changes to a daily menu.

Epson printers are very popular among home users and small businesses and will usually accept compatible ink cartridges in Galway without any difficulty. The Epson Expression range of printers is not only great value but also a very versatile printer. This all-in-one printer, scanner and copier uses four colour ink cartridges black, cyan, magenta and yellow. To satisfy the thirst of this top selling printer, the Galway ink cartridge shops will have an abundant supply of the T1811 black, T1812 cyan, T1813 magenta and T1814 yellow. The printer will allow you to replace the colours as they run low individually and will accept the compatible version of the ink cartridges without much of a fuss.

Original brand Epson Expression printer ink in Galway can cost around €80 for a full set. This is a ridiculous price and can often be more than the cost of the actual printer. A full set of the compatible version of this ink should set you back about half the cost of the original. A good quality compatible ink cartridge is a must and a money-back guarantee on the purchase of your ink cartridge in Galway is especially necessary for the first purchase you make in case you have any issues. The problem you are most likely to encounter is cartridge recognition. This is where the printer will not recognize the ink cartridge but removing and reinstalling the cartridge, gently wiping the ‘chip’ area with a dry soft cloth can very often solve the problem.

As a rule of thumb the best prices for the Epson Expression range of printers are on-line, it’s hard to see the price of a Galway ink cartridge being as cheap in comparison. The low initial cost of the Epson printer, coupled with the affordable running costs, make this range of printer good value with good quality printing. A good everyday printer recommended for general use in the home or the office.
