Fix Laser Printer Issues in Blackpurl

Troubleshoot laser printer problems in Blackpurl, from hardware checks to pop-up blocker settings, with a workaround if printing is still blocked.

If you're unable to print from Blackpurl to a laser printer, work through the checks below in order. Most printing problems come down to one of four areas: hardware, print drivers, browser settings, or a pop-up blocker preventing the print preview from loading.

Hardware Checks

Before investigating software or settings, confirm the physical setup is correct.

  • Printer is plugged in and powered on

  • Printer is connected to your computer or the relevant network

  • The correct paper size is selected and loaded

  • There are no paper jams

  • Sufficient toner or ink is available

Print Driver Checks

An outdated or corrupt print driver is a common cause of printing failures. Confirm your print driver is up to date and verify you can successfully print a Windows Test Page before continuing.

Browser Checks

Browser print settings can cause documents to print incorrectly or not at all. Check the following configurations in your browser's print dialog.

  • The correct printer is set as the default

  • Shrink to Fit is not enabled

  • For any other browser-specific issues, search your browser's support documentation online

Pop-Up Blocker

If you've completed all the checks above and can print a Windows Test Page but still can't print from Blackpurl, check whether your browser's pop-up blocker is enabled. A pop-up blocker can prevent the print preview page from loading, which is why you may find printing works in some areas of Blackpurl but not others.

Disable pop-ups for Blackpurl in your browser using the relevant guide below.

Workaround While You Troubleshoot

If you can print a Windows Test Page but not from Blackpurl, use this workaround while waiting for the issue to be resolved: email yourself the Customer Order Invoice, Vendor Invoice, or other document and print it from your email client. You can also offer to email the document directly to the customer. This is not a permanent solution, but it lets you get documents out while the underlying issue is being fixed.

Still Not Working?

If you've worked through all the checks above and printing still isn't working, contact Blackpurl Support at [email protected].
