Printing stops mid-way.
The printer stops in the middle of printing. This problem may happen of you are printing a very finely detailed illustration or photograph. Because the printer requires more time to process the data for very finely detailed illustrations or photographs, it may appear to have stopped working. If you have been printing for an extended period, this problem may arise too. The print heads overheat if you print continuously for long periods.
