It is quite inevitable to encounter some common printing problems especially if you make frequent use of your printer. From the name itself, a printer “prints” or create a tangible output of the things that you can see on the monitor that is kept within your computer’s hard drive. With this purpose, common printing problems that you may encounter involve the inability of the printer to produce the quality of output expected from it.

A common problem in the quality of output a printer needs to produce involves not being able to create a clean printout. Sometimes, you may encounter having a printout full of ink smears from the printer. The cause of this kind of problem usually lies in the printer head. If the printer head is not clean, the printer is most likely to produce an output with ink markings in areas where they are not expected to be found.

Another problem in printing is what is called “ghosting”. This problem is usually characterized by having a printout where at first look, seem to have no problem at all but after some time, an observer may locate a light copy of the intended contents much like a shadow in the background. This is usually caused by the inadequacy of the electrical power fed into the printer. If this is the case, you can check whether the printer is switched into the right socket. If this problem still occurs after that, the problem may be more serious such that you may need to buy new printer parts.

You may also experience a problem where the printer does not obtain the paper from the right tray. The cause for this problem can be easily located in the properties or printer settings in your computer. By correcting this, you can be sure that the next printouts will use the right paper.
