How do you find out why your printer won't power on when you switch to a dial up cable modem?

How do you find out why your printer won't power on when you switch to a dial up cable modem?

Dialup uses regular touchtone phone wires. Cable Modems use Cable TV wires. These are not the same item. Unless you have a VOIP phone hooked onto your Cable Internet service.



If you own a wireless or networked printer next to computer controllable power on, it would possibly be due to a driver program that got disconected from the Operating System software surrounded by the computer.

Try re-loading the printer driver in Control Panel > > > Device Manager.
a printer does not use a dial up modem row .a ptinter connectes to the computer by a usb and then u enjoy the power supply for it .and there is no such entity as a dial up cable modem
Your printer shouldn't have anything to do near a modem of any sort; also, dial-up modems and cable modems are two completely different things. Dial-up modems connect to your phone system; cable modems connect through the same cable system that your small screen uses, generally through a modem that connects beside a piece of Cat-5 cable or a USB cable to your computer.



Power to your printer has NOTHING to do near a modem; you should check for a loose plug between your printer and the wall (many have power lines that include an AC/DC transformer), so be sure that the plug into the transformer (the section that looks like a box and get warm) is also snug.
