What should I do if the Epson Workforce WF-5110DW printer does not attempt to print?
If the printer does not attempt to print, then check the printer’s functioning properly. Following are the steps to check the printer’s functionality and to identify the exact issue:
- Check whether Epson Workforce WF-5110DW ink cartridges are expended or not.
- Make sure the printer is receiving proper power supply.
- Check for the error message in the control panel or on the LCD screen.
- Try to perform a printer operation check. Make sure that the Epson Workforce WF-5110DW ink cartridges are correctly installed in the carriage.
- Make sure that you are using the correct media type in the sheet feeder.
- Check for the connection between the printer and the computer. Make sure that there should not be any break between them.
- If a cable connection fails to operate while printing, try using a different interface to connect the printer, like switching between the USB port to the parallel port and vice versa.
- Ensure that the printer and computer meet the minimum requirements i.e. required software is installed within the system.
- Verify that each Epson Workforce WF-5110DW ink cartridge is installed in the correct slot. Sometimes not installing the cartridges correctly give you blank output.
- Use the status monitor to identify the printer status. It should not be in the sleep/offline mode.
- The operating system on your device must be compatible with the printer. Check for OS compatibility.
- Monitor the print queue of the printer. It is possible that the printer is paused, offline or the document is stuck in the queue. This can also lead to incorrect or distorted print results.
- Ensure that the correct port is selected for printing. If the port and driver are correctly in use and the printer is ready to print, take a test print from the printer properties.
- Make sure that you have used the correct printer driver for the operating system
If the printer still prints blank, even after the frequent attempts, then contact Epson support or take your printer to the closest service centre for hardware/ software check.
