Printer Not Printing: Check for paper jams, reconnect cables, restart the printer, or verify the correct print queue.
Wi-Fi Drops: Restart your router or modem, make sure all cables are secure, and check if other devices are connected.
Basic Software Errors: Try closing and reopening the app, updating software, or reinstalling the program.
