Question Printers can't communicate

[manin1952]

Hi,

I have two printers that I haven't used them for a really long time.
I tried many times to put them back in the game, but I can't make them work.
It is like I have no printer connected to pc...
Epson L386 and Hp Laserjet 1020
I tried usb and wireless for Epson...
Any ideas?

The Epson likely needs a brand new print head if it's been out of action for a long time.

That HP is almost 20 years old, it's no wonder it doesn't work.

Both will need extensive maintenance (clean, lube & replace all rubber parts at a minimum)

Better and less expensive to toss them and start fresh.
