If your printer is having trouble connecting to the network, one simple fix is to disconnect the network cable and restart the printer with the cable unplugged. Turn off your printer completely, then unplug the network cable. Turn the printer back on without reconnecting the cable. If the printer starts up properly and functions normally, it means the issue was related to the network connection. Sometimes, printers can detect unusual data packets coming through the network, which may cause startup problems. By disconnecting the network cable during startup, you can help your printer avoid these issues and get back to working smoothly.
