Hi,

The Dell 926 printer is an All-In-One model that you can use as a printer, scanner and a fax machine. When the printer becomes unresponsive there may be a communication problem between the printer and your computer. To correct this type of problem you need to first verify that the USB connector cable is not malfunctioning. You can do this by resetting the communication settings between the computer and the printer.
y1 Press the "Power" button to turn off the printer. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet or the power strip.

1. • 2

     Disconnect the USB connector cable for the printer from the computer.
     

   • 3

     Turn off your computer from the Windows "Start" menu or by pressing the "Power" button.
     

   • 4

     Plug the USB connector cable back into a USB port on the computer.
     

   • 5

     Plug the power cord for the printer back into power strip or electrical outlet.
     

   • 6

     Press the "Power" button to turn on the printer. Press the "Power" button to turn on your computer.
     

Follow the below instructions

1. Lift the printer unit up. Position the scanner support beam between the tabs to hold the printer unit lid open. The ink cartridge carrier moves to the loading position in the center of the printer.
   

2. Press down on the lever in front of the right and left ink cartridges lid. The lid opens and raises up.
   

3. Remove the color and black ink cartridges from the carrier. Inspect the cartridges to ensure that it is compatible with the Dell 926 printer. The proper cartridge is called Dell 926 Standard Capacity Color Ink and Dell Standard Capacity Black Ink.
   

4. Examine the cartridges for any tape over the ink nozzle. New cartridges have a strip of tape covering the bottom of the cartridge that must be removed before installing into the printer.
   

5. Insert the cartridges into the carrier so the label is on top with the color logo side going in first. Press the lid down to snap it into place.
   

6. Push the scanner support bar back to release it. Lower the printer unit until it is closed.
   

7. Turn the printer off. Restart the computer. Turn the printer on. If the error message appears again, the cartridges may be defective and needs to be replaced.
   

I hope this clears up your problem.

Good Luck and Have a Nice Day!!
