Five Things That Stop a 3554ci Printing

When a TASKalfa 3554ci will not print, it has almost always hit one of five faults: a paper jam, a print quality problem, a dropped network connection, a scanner error, or a driver or print spooler that has stalled, and every one of them clears from the panel or your own computer.

Take them in order.

Work Down the List Until Yours Clears

Each fix below takes a few minutes and none of them needs a technician on site.

Start at the top, because a jam left in the paper path will keep throwing errors that look like something else entirely.

If the machine is still dead after the last section, the fault is hardware and it needs a technician.

I would like to express my thanks for the excellent service I received from the service technician who resolved my jammed printer. His persistence and expertise resulted in the discovery of a tiny piece of torn paper that eluded discovery for nearly 30mins. This caused the printer to constantly trigger a jam error. The cost of the service was well worth the result. Many thanks, Anthony Torrens.
Response from the owner:Hi Anthony, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear that our technician was able to track down the tiny piece of paper causing the jam. Sometimes it's the smallest things that create the biggest headaches, and we're pleased their persistence and attention to detail got your printer back up and running. We really appreciate your kind words and your support of our business. If we can ever assist you again, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
