My Dell Photo Printer 720 has stopped printed, no response at all to print jobs. I have unplugged the printer, no change. I have rebooted the computer, no change.

Clarification Request

Posted by NinaE on Aug 03, 2009

Are the print jobs still there (look under Printers and Faxes) ? Is the printer making any noise at all ? Can you print a test page ?
