What We Can Help With
| Printer offline or not found on the networkYour printer was working and now it's not showing up. We find out why — IP conflict, driver issue, router problem — and walk you through the fix. | Paper jams that keep coming backIf clearing the jam doesn't stop it happening again, there's usually a worn part causing it. We diagnose whether it's rollers, sensors, or something else — and tell you the cheapest way to fix it. |
| Print quality problems — lines, streaks, faded printStreaks on every page, faded areas, black lines, toner smudging — we identify whether it's the toner, drum, fuser, or a settings issue, and tell you exactly what to change or replace. | Scan to email or scan to folder stopped workingOne of the most common faults after a server change or Microsoft 365 update. We walk through your SMTP settings and get scanning working again. |
| Error codes and warning messagesPrinter showing a code you don't recognise? We tell you what it means, whether it's a hard fault or a soft one you can clear, and what needs to happen next. | Drivers, setup, and new printer connectionsNew printer won't install, driver won't connect, or a Windows update broke the connection. We sort it remotely without you needing to be technical. |

What to Expect — Honestly
Remote support is the fastest and most cost-effective way to get a printer working again for most common faults. In many cases we can resolve the issue entirely within the session. In others, we diagnose the cause and recommend exactly what part or action is needed — often saving you the cost of an unnecessary engineer visit or replacing the whole printer.
Some faults — particularly internal mechanical failures — do require a physical repair. If that's the case, we'll tell you clearly and give you your options. We won't string the session out.
If the fault is straightforward and takes less than 30 minutes, great — the session ends when it's done. We don't pad it out.
Frequently Asked Questions
My printer was working yesterday and now it's showing offline — can you fix that remotely?
Yes — printer offline issues are one of the most common faults we deal with remotely and most resolve within the session. The usual causes are a changed IP address, a router update, a Windows update that reset the port, or a driver conflict. We work through these in order and get you printing again.
I keep getting paper jams but can't see anything stuck — can you help with that remotely?
Yes. Recurring paper jams with no visible obstruction almost always mean a worn pickup roller or separation pad. We can diagnose this remotely by asking a few questions and sometimes by reviewing the printer's page count and feed error log. We'll tell you exactly which part is causing it and whether a repair kit is the right fix — which is often less than £20.
My scan to email stopped working after we changed our email setup — can you fix this?
Yes — scan to email faults after a Microsoft 365 migration or server change are extremely common. The SMTP settings on the printer need updating to match your new mail server configuration. We walk you through the printer's web interface and get it working again. This is one of the most common issues we resolve in a single remote session.
Do I need to be technical for this to work?
No. We explain everything in plain English and guide you step by step. If you can click a link and follow instructions, that's enough. You don't need to know anything about networks, drivers, or printer settings — that's what we're here for.
What if 30 minutes isn't enough to fix the problem?
For more complex faults or issues involving network configuration and scan setup, our Extended Support session (up to 1 hour) is the better choice. If you're not sure which to pick, the Standard session is the right starting point for most single printer faults. We'll tell you honestly if we think you need longer.
What brands and models do you support?
We support all major laser and inkjet printer brands including HP, Brother, Canon, Epson, Ricoh, Kyocera, Lexmark, Xerox, Konica Minolta, and OKI. If you have an unusual model, contact us before purchasing and we'll confirm.
