The general reasons are maybe the power line don't connect correctly, printer cable contacts undesirable, or the computer parallel damaged etc. The solution basically have:

• If the printer can't start normally, that is the power light is off. Firstly to check whether the power cord is connected to the printer properly. Turn off the printer and connect the power cord once again, and change to another power socket to see if it can work.
• If you press the power switch and the printer can work normally. You can go into the BIOS setting to see the parallel setting. Generally the printer is used with ECP mode. But some printers don't support ECP mode, then you can use ECP+EPP, or "Normal" way.
• If the above two methods are invalid, you need to focus on the printer cable. Turn off the computer first, pull down the two ends of the printer cable and insert again. If problem also can not solved, change a new printer cable, or use alternative method.
