Shared printers are designed to handle complex tasks including heavier print volume. They can handle more papers and have advanced finishing capabilities if they are compared to personal printers. Usually these printers are located in a convenient place and have access to multiple users and that too, anytime. This is the reason why shared printers face issues often, but most of the time they can be protected with a little bit of precautionary measures. Here are some useful tips to save you from facing common issues.
- Enable Printer Status Notification feature
Enabling the feature will help you see a small status notification window at the lower-right corner of the computer screen. It provides the status of the document that is being printed and also displays information about the printer. You will also be able to see error messages there so that troubleshooting an issue will get easier.
- Separate jobs at the printer
By using the HP printer driver for Windows and insert a page at the beginning of each printing so that it becomes easier for you to find yours. In any case, hp printer technical support is there to help you troubleshoot any issue.
- Enable Auto CC feature
When you scan documents and send emails to multiple users by using ‘Scan to email’ feature in your printer. However, if you want to get a confirmation whether the email is sent or not, enable ‘Auto CC’ feature. The ‘scan to email’ feature cannot be enabled unless it is configured.
- Enable private or confidential print
