Where’s the paper?



You are trying to print to an inkjet printer, but the printer is showing a message that it’s out of paper. When you check the paper tray, you find that the paper tray is full. What is the most likely cause of this problem?

A) The print heads are dirty

B) The print driver is misconfigured

C) The print queue is corrupted

D) The print cable is faulty

E) The printer is auditioning for the Office Space sequel


The answer: B) The print driver is misconfigured

If the print driver is configured with a manual feed instead of the paper tray, the printer will give an error when it tries to print and finds the manual feel slot empty. Changing the print driver to point to the correct paper source will resolve this frustrating issue.
