This is an excellent printer but today it does not want a job. I have been told it is in an "error state". Don't know why or how. Should I uninstall? I've tried all recommendations - turn off pc, printer and router. No deal. Thanks.

Sometimes turning off devices isn't enough, may need unplugging the power cord/s and try again.

Printers are certainly fussy little devils. I had to reinstall it and now it is working. Such a pia for a very innocent action that I took with it which made it sick -- I opened the printer which used to reside in my startup window - now does not - how? Anyone? Anyway, I opened it and was looking at an area to set page sizes for printing. That's all it took. Went into "printer is in an error state." That'll teach me.

I turn my printer off when I'm not using it. Then I fire it back on when I do. And then turning the printer off again when I'm done.

You can also try re-booting the machine with either the printer powered on, or leaving it off until the re-boot is completed and then turning it back on.

Doing it that way has prevented errors for me.

Hi, Patsy. So did it start a print? Is there paper stuck in it? You will get an error state if there is.

What is the printer model?

I always turn it off when not using it. Didn't seem to matter.
