If the laptop recognizes the printer but printing fails, the issue might be with the print queue. Clear the print queue by opening 'Printers & Scanners' (Windows) or 'Open Print Queue' (macOS). Cancel all pending print jobs. Also, check if the correct paper size and type are selected in the print settings. A corrupted print job can sometimes cause this issue, so clearing the queue is a good first step.
